Where did the Client Get This?
� Cannot reveal without client’s consent, unless an
exception is met
� At least one professional ethics body has determined
that questionable information received from a client

criminal act that the client may have been involved
in is a past act and disclosure would not prevent a
future crime.” (Florida Ethics Opinion, infra)
