I am not 100% certain my lawyer can do everything she needs to win my case, so I'm considering hiring an additional attorney to co-counsel. Some lawyers claim they cannot speak with me without express permission from my exisitng lawyer. Other lawyers have spoken with me as if it were not an issue that I alread have a lawyer. So my question - is it illegal or unethical for a lawyer to consult with someone who already has a lawyer regarding the same issue?
