The following excerpt is from Grand Jury Subpoena Served Upon Doe, In re, 781 F.2d 238 (2nd Cir. 1984):
3 We note that this case involves information which is peculiar to only one attorney. Colombo is not in a situation where, even if the information was ruled admissible, a snowball effect would deprive him of retained counsel entirely. See, e.g., United States v. Badalamenti, 614 F.Supp. 194, 197-98 (S.D.N.Y.1985) (potential loss of attorney's fees under forfeiture provisions of RICO presents problem of retaining any lawyer).
