no. Lawyers have to follow an ethics by Bar standards. Lawyers cannot subject themselves to criminal activities, unless this fugitive is a witness to a case being defended a lawyers are forbidden to involve themselves to any other duty
You ve misunderstood the confidentiality... if you instruct your lawyer to pass a message, he will pass it for you. If, on the other hand, you ve admitted your guilt to him, you needn t worry that he ll be asked to testify against you.
I believe they can but only for immediate family member or spouse. The meeting between a lawyer and criminal are confidential. However you lose those rights when you get incarcerated and may be recorded in the jail.
Yes, but depending on the nature of the communication, the lawyer might simply refuse to represent you further, rather than go against his/her ethics.
