Description
Appellant, Tim Futrell, appeals as a matter of right a unanimous order of the Court of Appeals which denied his petition for a writ of prohibition. We affirm. Appellant, an attorney during the time of the occurrences referred to herein, maintained law offices in Hopkinsville and Cadiz. He became the subject of a criminal investigation in the fall of 1990, which was conducted jointly by the Attorney General's office and the Kentucky State Police. Several civil actions had been filed against Mr. Futrell by clients alleging misrepresentation of settlement funds recovered on behalf of his clients and included allegations of forgery and/or unauthorized negotiation of settlement checks. Investigators sought interviews with Mr. Howell Hopson and Ms. Geneva Parris, attorneys, to ascertain what information these parties may have had concerning the offenses. In December 1990, search warrants were obtained and executed for appellant's law office and his residence and during the execution of the search warrant at appellant's law office an effort was made to interview Hopson and Parris. These parties were willing to cooperate, but were reluctant to do so as there was an ancillary civil action in federal court involving these parties wherein Futrell had alleged the existence of an ""attorney/client relationship"" between them.
