Addressing Conflict of Interest
We have a CPS case in which an attorney has (1) appeared to represent the mother in a motion for new trial and (2) filed a petition in intervention for maternal grandparents to be named PMC. The mother did state in her motion for new trial, which was filed pro se, that she preferred the children to be placed with her.

Any suggestions on how I should address the issue of obvious and impermissible conflict of interest this attorney has in this case? I have never had to address a conflict of interest issue from the other side before. Thanks for any suggestions.
