Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
attorney privilege
I hire an attorney for divorce and I have been seeing a man for two months. This attorney is representing another woman also for divorce. It so happens that I am seeing this womans husband (whose divorces has been in the process for at least 5 1/2 months). Should I hire this attorney and what is the attorney priviliege to each case concerning this man? Does she keep this confidence with this man in--name removed--case? Can she tell the other woman she is representing? What is the case? At the time all of this started, none of us knew of each other...this is such a fluke all this happened. All of this is ''after the fact''.

Re: attorney privilege
Yes there is attorney client privilege.
However, in reality, there is a chance that she could find out about your case. Perhaps she could see you in the reception room or she could see your name in the office.
I don't know where you live but you might want to keep looking around.
Since you know about the other case, you might want to mention this to the attorney so that she and her staff can make sure you don't "bump" into each other in the reception room or see each other's file.
