My family member is represented by an Assistant Public Defender. Can I speak with his attorney about his case?
No attorney may share a client’s privileged information with a third party, even the client’s family members. However, if the client gives permission, the attorney may discuss non-privileged information about the case such as facts that are a part of the public record and the general status of the case. If you have information about your family member’s case that you feel is important or would be helpful, you should discuss this information with his or her attorney.
