Is it illegal for a defendant in a law suit to intercept email communications between an attorney and his client (the plaintiff)?
Optional Information: Country relating to Question: United States Already Tried: looking on the internet?
Hello and thank you for the question. I am sorry to read of this dilemma. That communication is private and privileged. Is the defendant somehow accessing it without consent?
Yes. By hacking email communications between the plaintiff and other co-plaintiffs and possibly with the lawyer himself.
What outcome are you seeking? has this been disclosed to the judge?
No it has not yet been brought to the judge's attention as I do not have absolute proof. I am trying to gather all of information from my ISP so I can give it to my lawyer if it is worthwhile pursuing. I need to know if I can have the lawyer add this issue to our case as another complaint or if it is only a matter for the police. Also, I need to know in what state I can pursue this.
Begin by getting proof. If you have the proof, you should alert the judge. The judge can be influenced from such conduct to find in your favor. It can also issue sanction or bar the other side from introducing evidence. It is best to pursue it within the case than to pursue a separate action on the issue. Good luck. Kindly rate the answer GREAT SERVICE.
