How about if they sent you a National Security letter, in which case it would be illegal to talk to your lawyer first?

- carbocation 14y agoThey may be unconstitutional (fed district court in SF so ruled in March 2013, appeal pending), so the question of whether it is lawful seems to be open. Edit: I see that you are asking about telling counsel about the NSL. The text of the NSL explicitly states that you may seek legal counsel.
- jlgreco 14y agoI would still see a lawyer, though I would neglect to tell people that I did that if the letter turned out to be real. How could I possibly justify not contacting a lawyer? I'm not qualified to read such a letter in the first place!
