Getty Images Letter Forum / Re: Getty filed a lawsuit against me
« on: January 22, 2014, 12:39:40 PM »
I can understand the caution here with Getty lurking. I have not received any letters from Getty. My clients have. I am an attorney with 20 years experience.
Posting public records would not violate attorney client privilege. So, the court in which the suit is filed is fine to post. Posting the documents filed with the court is also fine.
What is not fine is telling others what his or her attorney said. The poster stated "I did send Oscar an email this afternoon, but didn't expect a response with the holiday. However, he called me and said it was an unusual case and would talk to their lawyer tomorrow."
While this doesn't reveal much, it does indicate that rlocke, in the desire to help others on this forum, would be willing to tell us what his or her attorney said. Doing so could waive attorney client privilege and would not be helpful to rlocke. Thus, my words of caution before he or she does state something that could waive attorney client privilege. My concern for rlocke is to ensure he or she doesn't damage his or her chances of prevailing at trial if it goes that far.
