What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY
I am involved in a criminal court case. I called an old HS friend who is a bankruptcy lawyer to ask if he could recommend a lawyer. I gave him the details of my case. I later found out that he has been sharing these details with people in my social circle. He is a gossip.
I am not his client, but it just seems unethical that he should be discussing my private business socially. I want to call him and tell him to not share my private business with others or I will write a letter to the Bar Association.
Is he well within his rights to discuss my personal business with others?
