Do you see a conflict of interest here?

Would it be considered a conflict of interest for a lawyer that is working for a title company to also be a broker representing the seller in a transaction closed at that title company? The closing agent is not this attorney, but he does work in the title company and oversees the closings and weighs in on them.

Reason is I’ve got a transaction that’s gone bad after closing, and in seeking remedies, unbeknownst to me when I started talking to the title company attorney as a “neutral party”, I shared some things I normally wouldn’t have.

I found out through the grapevine about his dual role AFTER I had the conversation with him.

Shouldn’t this attorney disclose that he is also the managing broker for the seller before talking to me?

What can I do with this?
