Unfortunately, you may be subpoenad to testify under penalty of law if you have critical information. I would seek an attorney in your area or speak with her defense attorney to find out if there are any privileges you can use. A detailed analysis of the facts is the only way to determine if a privilege somehow exists.

If you are in the Dallas area or its contiguous counties, feel free to call the law office for further assistance at 214-712-9242.
