Sometimes attorneys act as "co-counsel" on one case. This is a situation where two attorneys work together handling one case. Under this type of agreement, the attorneys agree to split the fee, so the client is paying one legal fee and getting two attorneys. You can not have two separate attorneys representing one client with respect to the same matter unless the attorney's are working together as I described above.
