So lets say that someone calls a law firm and asks for advice. He is not sure whether he is speaking to an attorney or a assistant on the phone but he does ask questions and he feels nervous about talking to the person on the phone.
I am curious because I would like to call a law firm but is everything that I tell them really considered confidential even if I am just seeking adivise and I am not a client for them or can the law firm actually call the police department and tell them what I have told them? What if the person on the phone was not an attorney and they were a secretary?
This is in California and I am just trying to see if I ask an attorney or a law firm some questions. Is my story safe from leaving that phone conversation before I am actually considered a client.
Thanks
