Concurrence in Part

KNOLL, J.,

would grant in part and deny in part. I find the court of appeal erred in reversing the trial court’s ruling finding no conflict of interest under Rule 1.9 of the Rules of Professional Conduct, and I would reverse the court of appeal’s ruling which disqualified the law firm of Durio, McGoffin, Stagg & Ackermann from representing Jeremiah Supple and reinstate the trial court’s ruling. In all other respects, I would deny relator’s writ application.
