In this fast paced world of text and e mail expect your lawyer to be careful. But beware a fast pace makes for errors. One area of malpractice by lawyers is the use of e mail or text which when sent without thinking or double checking can go to the wrong person, not include someone that should be included or not get where it was intended.
Sending something that is confidential over e mail is accepted in most circumstances but if sent to the wrong person it can do serious damage. When a lawyer represents the wife, an e mail intended for the lawyers client which is accidently copied to the husband’s lawyer about those pictures of the husband or of the wife in a compromised situation will be used by the other side. There are rules about giving back that which was accidently sent to the other lawyer, but those rules may not save the day.
So expect your lawyer to double check before sending and to be careful generally with your confidential information. If he or she screws up and you are damaged give us a call we will fight to set things right.
