- noah_buddy 7y agoI don't believe that that link supports the general assertion you're making about there being attorney client privilege the entire time. In this case, if the above lawyer receives a message that is unsolicited, Apple should have no expectation of that privilege/privacy of the communications without some prior agreement. Apple has no way to know that the account is even directly run by the lawyer themself or an aide.
