Re: Waiver of Conflict of Interest

Dear Mr. Kuiken and KCH&W,

I am writing to formally waive any conflict of interest restriction related to your representation of Frederick Shaddock, Petitioner, in the ongoing divorce proceedings, Case No. CDCV402015, in the District Court of Iowa, Jefferson County.

Although I initially consulted your firm regarding this matter, I did not establish an attorney-client relationship with your firm through a retainer agreement or contract with payment. I understand that, as a result of our initial consultation, a conflict of interest may exist due to your prior duty of confidentiality and loyalty to me. However, after careful consideration, I am agreeing to release your firm from any such conflict in relation to representing the Petitioner.

I acknowledge that my consultation with your firm regarding this case was preliminary, and I confirm that no confidential information exchanged during that consultation poses any substantial risk to me in connection with the firm’s representation of Mr. Shaddock. I trust that your firm will uphold the highest standards of professional ethics, and I understand that under the Rules of Professional Conduct, you are prohibited from disclosing any confidential information obtained from me without my informed consent.

With this letter, I am waiving any conflict of interest related to the representation of Mr. Shaddock by Foss, Kuiken, Cochran, Helling & Willman, P.C. I am making this decision voluntarily and in good faith, recognizing that my initial contact with your office was brief and did not lead to any formal legal representation.

If you have any questions or if additional documentation is required, please feel free to contact me.

ACKNOWLEDGED AND AGREED TO:

Oksana Shemet Shaddock
