California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from River West, Inc. v. Nickel, 188 Cal.App.3d 1297, 234 Cal.Rptr. 33 (Cal. App. 1987):
Nevertheless, because of the importance of motions to disqualify counsel, appellate courts must carefully review the trial court's exercise of discretion. (See Elliott v. McFarland Unified School Dist. (1985) 165 Cal.App.3d 562, 567, 211 Cal.Rptr. 802; Chambers v. Superior Court (1981) 121 Cal.App.3d 893, 903, fn. 7, 175 Cal.Rptr. 575.)
