When can an attorney reveal a client confidence?

What will be an ideal response?


The client consents to the disclosure; the attorney reasonably believes the disclosure is
necessary (a) to prevent reasonably certain death or substantial bodily harm, or (b) to prevent
the client from committing a crime or fraud that is reasonably certain to result in substantial
injury to the financial interests of another and in furtherance of which the client has used or is
using the attorney’s services; and the attorney needs to make the disclosure in order to collect
a fee from the client or to respond to a claim by the client against the attorney.
