Federal prosecutors in Los Angeles conducting a wide-sweeping investigation of illegal wiretapping have asserted conflict of interest issues involving Terry Christensen, the only lawyer indicted as part of the probe.

Prosecutors allege that Christensen, managing partner of Los Angeles-based Christensen, Glaser, Fink, Jacobs, Weil & Shapiro, has a conflict of interest in retaining fellow name partner Robert Shapiro as part of his defense team.
