"Tragic Summerlin Shooting: Legal Representation Replacement Attempts Failed"

TL;DR Summary
Prior to the tragic murder-suicide in Summerlin, concerns were raised about a potential conflict of interest in a custody dispute case involving a divorced couple and their attorneys, who were also family members. The attorneys themselves determine if there is a conflict of interest, and in this case, emotions were running high due to the sensitive nature of family court. The situation became more contentious as allegations of drug and alcohol use emerged during the custody dispute, leading to an emergency motion for sole custody filed by one of the parents.
