Can confidential information be released to an attorney?

In: Law & Legal Issues [Edit categories]

Answer:

It depends on the confidential information. If it is medical information, that is when HIPPA gets involved and without your written consent, can not be shared.

Another View: If the attorney is armed with a court order, almost any confidential information dealing with their client can be accessed.
