While it is true that the attorney-client relationship allows the client to speak
their mind without the stress and fear that their disclosure will end up in tomorrow's "headlines," there are numerous times when lawyers do not have to take the information "spilled" upon them to the grave. When talking to a lawyer and it is your wish to keep things secret and off their Facebook and Twitter feed, be certain an iron clad attorney-client relationship exists. Make sure nobody else in the room and don't make mention of any intention to harm yourself or anyone else. If all of this is properly done, your attorney will then take your deepest, darkest secrets to the grave.
