New suit reveals conflict

CONFIRMED:

Coffey's firm represents Samaritan Hospital

The most serious complaint against Stephen Coffey in his "evaluation" of Lisa's case, during which he allegedly tried to to get the lawsuit thrown out, was that he had a conflict of interest because his firm, O'Connell & Aronowitz, was representing, indirectly the interests of one of the defendants.

That representation is no longer indirect.

Last week the firm filed a lawsuit against the state Health Department. One of the plaintiffs in the suit is Samaritan Hospital.
