At trial, James Howe, landlord’s son, was asked by tenant’s attorney how he was related to his counsel. James Howe responded that his attorney was his brother-in-law. Landlord’s attorney then objected and requested a mistrial arguing that commenting on a relationship between an attorney and his client was improper. Landlord’s attorney alternatively requested that the court instruct the jury to disregard the question and answer. The court denied the motion of a mistrial, but instructed the jury to disregard the question and answer.
