Confusion

I am perplexed.  My Uncle Paul and I hired the same attorney.  There is no conflicts between us.  Yet our attorney was told by the judge he could no longer be my uncle's attorney....only mine.  He was disqualified as my uncle's attorney because of a non-existent conflict of interest.

The reason for my confusion...

I just read about case PCN-11-294681.  Two of my very favorite people are involved.  To my surprise, the same law firm represents both the conservator and conservatee.  Is that not a conflict of interest under the State of California's Probate Laws?
