Can the state prosecutor subpoena a defendant's lawyer to testify against him?

Jeralyn Elise Merritt
Answered by attorney Jeralyn Elise Merritt (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Jeralyn E. Merritt
Ordinarily, and in most instances, the answer is No. Communications between a lawyer and client are confidential and privileged. This means that your lawyer cannot disclose them to anyone else. In addition, the lawyer's Code of Professional Responsibility requires a lawyer to preserve a client's secrets and confidences. There are some exceptions. You can voluntarily give up the privilege. If you allow a third person to be present during your discussions, the privilege may be considered waived. And if you tell your lawyer about plans to commit a future crime, the privilege doesn't apply. It is very unusual for a prosecutor to subpoena a defendant's lawyer to testify against the client. I highly recommend you consult with new counsel to determine if this is proper and if you have grounds to object.

What happens if I got caught stealing $50,000 from employer and I have no priors?

Bruce H. Lehr
Answered by attorney Bruce H. Lehr
Criminal Law lawyer at Lehr Levi & Mendez, P.A.
You are chargeable with a serious felony. Having no priors is a good thing, but your employer will have a strong say in your punishment. In Miami, you are likely to get a lengthy probationary sentence and a withholding of adjudication (no conviction). In other Counties you may do some jail. In any case, you will be ordered to pay restitution to make your employer whole.

This forum is to answer a simple legal question, not to give a legal treatise to someone who wants to represent themselves pro se. Every county court has an office of pro se representation to assist people who want to represent themselves, as well as a law library. You should start there.
