p0726 An attorney's representation of an insurance company in homeowner policy coverage disputes, including claims based on moisture intrusion, rot and fungal infestation, was substantially related to a claim subsequently made by the attorney's client against the insurer for bad faith in its handling of a claim under her homeowner's insurance policy for damage due to mold and a water leak, justifying the attorney's disqualification, although 12 years had passed and the attorney claimed he did not recall any confidential information obtained during his representation.
