Jim admitted to his attorney that the drugs found in his car were his. Later he told his attorney that he intended to testify that the drugs belonged to a friend who had borrowed Jim’s car. The attorney withdrew from the case, and was subsequently called to testify against Jim. When asked about whether his client admitted that the drugs were his, the attorney ________

Answer 1

Answer:

would not have been compelled to answer because of the attorney-client privilege

Explanation:

According to my research on different attorney benefits, I can say that based on the information provided within the question the attorney would not have been compelled to answer because of the attorney-client privilege. As soon as a client pays any amount of money to a lawyer then anything said is protected under attorney-client privilege, in other words the attorney is prevented from disclosing any information that the client may have shared regardless of how incriminating it may be.
