Can a client who has committed a crime against an attorney be considered a potential criminal defendant in the context of the attorney-client relationship?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Uhl v. Municipal Court, 112 Cal.Rptr. 478, 37 Cal.App.3d 526 (Cal. App. 1974):
8 State v. Mullins (Ohio 1971) 26 Ohio App.2d 13, 268 N.E.2d 603, at 606, is totally inapposite as there the court simply held, that the attorney-client relationship can offer no shield to either the client or attorney if the client has been engaged in a plan to commit a Crime in the future.
