One Lawyer Two Clients

Summary

In Oklahoma, its generally not recommended for one lawyer to represent two individuals in the same case due to potential conflict of interest. However, the decision ultimately rests with the lawyer and the clients. If the clients feel uncomfortable, they should express their concerns to the court. The police can seize evidence without a warrant under certain situations. If they believe the item is related to a crime, they can keep it temporarily. For extended retention, a warrant or court order is generally required. Temporary is not clearly defined, but generally refers to the time it takes to secure a warrant. Extended retention typically begins once a warrant or court order is obtained. Consult a local attorney for specific time frames.
