FAQ
Under California Evidence Code 954, the California attorney-client privilege makes any private communication between you and your lawyer confidential and protected from disclosure. Notably, there are a few exceptions. First, this privilege does not apply when you seek an attorney's help in committing a crime or fraud.
Even if you copy your lawyer on an email to the company financial professional, that does not necessarily mean that the communication is privileged. Forwarding emails from your attorney directly to the financial professional is also a bad idea because it will likely break the privilege.
The Shannon–Weaver model, as it came to be known, remains widely used yet just as widely challenged. Models of communication can be classified into three general types: linear, interactive, and transactional.
There are also various circumstances under which privileged communication can be waived, either deliberately or unintentionally. Commonly cited relationships where privileged communication exists are those between attorney and client, doctor–or therapist–and patient, and priest and parishioner.
Communication can be categorized into three basic types: (1) verbal communication, in which you listen to a person to understand their meaning; (2) written communication, in which you read their meaning; and (3) nonverbal communication, in which you observe a person and infer meaning.
"Privileged communications" refer to all information exchanged between an individual and a health care professional related to the diagnoses and treatment of the individual.
The transmitter, channel, and receiver are the three main components of the communication system. The message signal is modulated by the transmitter. The process of transforming a signal into a form appropriate for transmission is known as modulation.
Evidence Code 954 Explained Your attorney is required by law to refuse to divulge the contents of client communications if anyone asks them to, citing "attorney-client privilege:" You have the right to forbid your attorney (along with any relevant third parties) from disclosing information designated as confidential.
Under Evidence Code §955, then, the lawyer will be obligated to claim the privilege, even if the client is dead, whenever the lawyer is present when the communication is sought to be disclosed.
Rule 1.6 also makes explicit another exception to the duty of confidentiality: lawyers may disclose client information when the client gives “informed consent.” These are the only “codified” exceptions to the duty of confidentiality.
