What potential risks might arise if a client withholds information from their attorney during a legal case?

Understand why it's crucial for you to share all pertinent information, even when it might be uncomfortable or intimidating. 🌟

Here are 3 key takeaways from the episode:

• Transparency is Key: Attorneys need all the facts to effectively protect and advocate for you. Holding back information can lead to unexpected surprises in court.
• Attorney-Client Privilege: Your communications with your lawyer are protected, meaning what you share remains confidential unless it serves your defense strategy. Trust in this relationship is fundamental.
• Team Effort: Building a solid trust relationship with your lawyer can significantly impact the outcome of your case. Open communication is vital to ensure every angle is covered.
