Is this how you think being a lawyer works? You just sue them and they give up any privileged information about their clients you want as a result? You catch a lawyer in a criminal act and he can just disclose privileged information about his clients to avoid criminal penalties?

Bet all those prosecutors are kicking themselves out there for not thinking of your brilliant strategy.

If the criminal act was something his client had knowledge he was planning to do then yes, information pertaining to that discussion with the client can be given up as a bargaining chip for the prosecutor to present in court, since that information is not privileged.
