"There seems to be a continuum of players, all in strategic places, who through the use of their power and expertise, hold the ability to make decisions that make possible transactions, which suffice in reaching ... to some degree, satisfaction in reaching their goals...gluttonous monetary gain, through fraudulent misuse of appropriated federal and state sponsored programs."

STIFFLE! LAWYER-CLIENT PRIVILEGE...IT'S JUST THAT!

When someone decides to do something of a criminal nature they usually call an attorney, someone they entrust with the particulars of their case, holding in total regard the lawyer-client privilege assuming that whatever is discussed between them will be held in strict confidence, not to be divulged to anyone...it goes without saying.

Recently it came to my attention, as it has in the past, that a specific attorney finds it necessary to breach that lawyer-client privilege, by discussing the particulars of a high profile case with anyone and everyone within earshot. But the isn't the first time. I have witnessed myself this same attorney breaching confidentiality, clearly misconduct on the part of the attorney representing his client.

Everyone is entitled to representation ..everyone is entitled to a defense, but it is of a serious nature when that defense has been compromised because a loud mouthed attorney decides that confidentiality is trumped by their need to tell everyone the strategy for winning the case for the purpose of generating business and promoting their self-worth.

To all those who have cases pending, that are of a high profile nature, speak to your attorney..remind them, (HIM), that lawyer-client privilege is serious and any breach of privilege may result in disciplinary action...

Just to let you know...you may be the subject of conversation...that of which you thought was of a confidential nature.
