Is a right to retain counsel of one's choice an absolute right?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Grand Jury Subpoena Served Upon Doe, In re, 759 F.2d 968 (2nd Cir. 1985):
Further, the right to retain counsel of one's choice is not an absolute right. United States v. Ostrer, 597 F.2d 337, 341 (2 Cir.1979). The disqualification of one's attorney, therefore, is not necessarily an unconstitutional impairment of one's right. See Part III infra of this opinion.
