There is ample evidence to support the trial court's finding that defendant attorney engaged in an impermissible conflict of interest by simultaneously representing plaintiff and Sagefil Development Corp. in a loan transaction, while having an undisclosed adverse personal interest in the transaction by virtue of his having previously personally guaranteed nearly $500,000 in loans to Sagefil. Sufficient credible evidence was also presented to support the conclusion that defendant disbursed approximately $39,000 in escrow funds being held on behalf of plaintiff, without plaintiff's authority. However, the record is devoid of proof that defendant "engaged in a chronic, extreme pattern of legal delinquency", needed to support the trial court's award of treble damages pursuant to Judiciary Law § 487 ( Bridges v 725 Riverside Dr., 119 AD2d 789, citing Wiggin v Gordon, 115 Misc 2d 1071). In particular, there is no evidence that defendant defrauded plaintiff or engaged in conduct intended to deceive. We have considered defendant-appellant's remaining arguments and find them to be without merit.
