Are cell phone conversations considered privileged?

Question

If you're talking to your attorney or lawyer, do your cell phone conversations fall under the attorney-client privileges? Or are they no longer considered private?

Answer 1

If you are talking to your attorney in any location where you'd have a reasonable expectation of privacy, then it would be privileged -- whether it's on a cell phone, or in the attorney's office, or in the basket of a hot air balloon.

The only really relevant factor is whether or not you, as the client, would have reason be concerned that someone might overhear you -- like at a crowded restaurant.

Answer 2

Yes, it doesn't matter whether you are talking on a cell phone or a regular phone, the phone calls ARE privileged (unless you are in a public place, talking loud enough for someone to hear you).

Answer 3

It is still considered priveleged. Some people have been arrested for using scanners and recording cell phone conversations. Even those not including priveleged conversations.

Answer 4

Intercept of cell phone conversations are covered by the same laws that prohibit intercepting any telephone conversation.
