| Apr 7 at 2:20 | comment | added | lgshost | @user71659 This is irrelevant because the third-party never even waited for the motion to be ruled on. It doesn't matter who was contesting it. | |
| Apr 4 at 22:41 | comment | added | user71659 | @lgshost Yes it absolutely does. Did you write the objection filed with the court? Did the lawyer raise all the points they could? Did you speak in front of the judge? You don't have any means of recourse because you never actually objected to the court. Your screw up is you believed that the defendant actually gave a damn about you: legally their legal team cannot. | |
| Apr 4 at 22:07 | comment | added | lgshost | @user71659 I don't think you get it. This has nothing to do with the Defendant's interests. You can stop obsessing over that. | |
| Apr 4 at 21:42 | comment | added | user71659 | @lgshost Again, the defendant has different interests than yours. They got bigger fish to fry. They're looking out for their own interests, e.g. making the best use of their legal budget, which is not always aligned with yours. If it was that big of an issue hire your own lawyer. | |
| Apr 4 at 21:34 | comment | added | lgshost | @user71659 the Defendant was contesting the subpoena for his own benefit as well. He was not doing anything specifically for me. I didn't file my own objection because I thought I would first wait to see if his was successful (it still hasn't been ruled on, but it's too late because the information was already provided) | |
| Apr 4 at 21:32 | comment | added | user71659 | @lgshost Yes, the defendant's lawyer is bound to work in the interests of exactly one party: the defendant. If your interest conflicts with the defendant, too bad. If your objection is not directly benefitting them, then why should the defendant pay their lawyer to help you? | |
| Apr 4 at 21:27 | comment | added | lgshost | @user71659 you mean that I should have filed the objection rather than the defendant in the case? | |
| Mar 29 at 6:24 | comment | added | user71659 | You did it wrong, you should have filed an objection directly with the court, and the judge would have considered it. If it was denied, your recourse would be to appeal to a higher court. | |
| Mar 29 at 4:05 | comment | added | Greendrake | What is the problem with your information being disclosed to the plaintiff? Are you suffering losses? Are you defamed? | |

Medical information is protected by HIPAA, financial information by things like PCI. Lawyers have professional codes of confidentiality. IANAL, but I think anything else would depend on the contract you have with the third party. | |
