Can't be coerced into handing over information you leave them if it is involved in ongoing proceedings?

  No, not in the USA under normal circumstances. This is known as attorney-client privilege. They are required to maintain it even when you stop paying.

    Thanks, I didn't realize this could be considered privileged. Seems pretty airtight then

    Right. Unless they decided to arrest or attack attorney for some fake cause that enables them to dig deeper.
