What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? TN
Is it permissible for my attorney to disclose banking information taken from checks used as fee payments to a third party without my knowledge?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

Depends...on the attorney's reason for doing so.

Bank info was disclosed to another attorney (acquaintance of my attorney) looking to impose a garnishment to collect on a fee judgment.

How did you find out he did this, is there documented PROOF that he did it, and have you asked HIM what his reason was for doing it?

Are you in the process of bankruptcy or is this a debt being collected by a valid creditor or by someone who has a legal judgement aganinst you? If so, then it's hard to see how you have been harmed or why you would object to someone who is validly and legally collecting a debt that you owe.
