OkZ02, up-zn ORDER ON MOTION TO DISQUALIFY OPPOSING COUNSEL THIS CAUSE came before the Court upon the Counter-Plaintiff, J. Motion to Disqualify Counsel for JEFFREY EPSTEIN and, more specifically, Fred Haddad. The Court received evidence and testimony, heard argument of counsel, has reviewed the memorandums filed both in support and opposition to the Motion, and has reviewed the various authorities cited. Based upon the foregoing, it is CONSIDERED, ORDERED AND ADJUDGED as follows: The Counter-Plaintiff, J. seeks to disqualify Attorney Fred Haddad on the basis that Mr. Haddad represents former Adler, supervisor at the Rothstein Rosenfeldt & Adler law firm. It is unclear the specific Rule Regulating the Florida Bar that contends justifies disqualification. Nevertheless, EDWARDS argues that Mr. Haddad "mar have access to confidential communications or work product information not between and his attorney in this matter but in the underlying litigation giving rise to the current matter. Disqualification of one's chosen lawyer is an extraordinary remedy and should be resorted to in very limited circumstances. See Weinberg & Black P.A. v. Effman, 916 So.2d 917 (Fla. 4th DCA 2005).
