The court holds an attorney cannot be disqualified for a conflict of interest pursuant to RPC 1.9 and RPC 1.10(b) based solely on the content of the initial pleadings where the factual basis for the alleged conflict of interest is contested. The two-pronged analysis required by City of Atlantic City v. Trupos, 201 N.J. 447, 467 (2010) mandates a factfinding before a court can conclude disqualification is required because an attorney represented a former client in a substantially related matter.
