hi there,
I am filing a breach of K claim. My vehicle was traded by me but work was not done. I filed a request with the DMV on the vehicle but it was still in the party’s name I had given it to, and he had submitted a release on liability. From that, I found a party’s name on a DMV doc and googled her name and found out she is an attorney. The guy I gave it to traded it . Then, that person, has sold it to her.
I need the info on that guy i.e. whether it is a barter or paid for, as SHE dealt with the party I am suing. The attorney said that guy is one of her former clients and giving me her last name or any info is privileged.
Is this info that the Attorney has on her former client privileged? Any ideas of HOW to get this info other than subpoenaing the party I gave it to?
Thanks

With "Privilege" term, you do not give anywhere enough information to determine if there is a privilege or not.

An attorney has an ethical duty to protect client confidentiality. if he were not prevented from telling you does not mean he must tell you anything.

the only way you are going to *make* a person tell you something is through a court order. File suit, start discovery, try to discover, meet and confer about the refusal, make a motion to compel and then win the motion to compel.
