In Dewey v. R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., 109 N.J. 201, 536 A.2d 243 (1988), the Supreme Court instructed us on the balancing required before imposing a sanction as severe as disqualification. The Court noted that "a motion for disqualification calls for us to balance competing interests, weighing the 'need to maintain the highest standards of the profession' against 'a client's right to freely choose his counsel.'" Id. at 218, 536 A.2d 243.
