Opinion here.
The supreme court holds that the trial court abused its discretion when it disqualified Nozolino’s counsel of choice, Rosalie Roy and Kimberly Chalmers, from representing Nozolino in this case. Contrary to the trial court’s ruling, our analysis of the factors critical to the determination of whether Nozolino must be allowed to waive conflict-free representation convinces us that the balance weighs in favor of Nozolino’s preference for continued representation by Roy and Chalmers. Accordingly, we make the rule absolute and remand the case for an advisement on the record so that Nozolino may decide whether to waive conflict-free representation.
