Sounds kooky but here goes.....

If you called a lawyer and asked them a question that could have something to do with one of their clients, are they obligated to tell their client that you were asking?

Chances are they wouldn't talk to you in the first place.

I agree about them not talking to you, unless you are somehow related. If you are another lawyer, court rep. or something like that.
There's such a thing as attorney-client privilege so I don't think you would get very far (unless you're a "special" person).

I worked for lawyers for quite a few years, this would be conflict of interest - they can't talk to you about their client.

I agree and thought of that but obviously there's a lot more to the story. I didn't want to get into the details. Since you worked for lawyers, I hope you don't mind but I will pm you more details and maybe you can shed some light? Thank you.
