A Note About Attorney Client Privilege

When you meet with an attorney, everything you tell the attorney is confidential. Family law matters touch upon your most sensitive matters. You can rest assured that your divorce attorney takes its obligation to keep your private information private very seriously.

Even on this blog, the stories I tell have been altered to protect the privacy of my clients.

One of the advantages of hiring an attorney for your family law matter is that you will have a filter to help you determine what information is relevant to the Court. An attorney can also help you maintain the confidentiality of private or sensitive information while you go through a potentially public court case.

Don, a client from Wayzata, was concerned that private financial information about his closely held company would make its way into his divorce file. We were able to negotiate an agreement with his wife’s attorney to keep the information private. Ultimately, the case settled, but even if the case hadn’t settled, the confidentiality agreement would have required Don’s agreement before any documents were submitted to the Court.

Sondra, a client from Buffalo, expressed concern that her children’s medical records would make their way into the child custody file. Sondra’s concerns were valid. By and large, Special Needs Family Law MN cases that do not involve the adjudication of paternity are public. Anyone can see anything that is filed in them, except for documents that have been designated as confidential. When parties represent themselves, documents such as children’s medical records and financial account statements are frequently included as supporting documents. Court staff do their best to make sure that sensitive material is sealed, but I see private information in court files every day.

A Family Law Attorney Minnesota is your filter, protecting your private data, and protecting you from over-sharing information.
