No, your attorney, or your attorney's office (i.e. "the lawyer place") should not have told her confidential information without your consent.
I want to start an attorney referall service that reaches out to homeless people in hopes of connecting them with a disability attorney to help them get social security disability benefits. Can a referall service legally do this though?

This question cannot be answered definitively without more information about the "attorney referral service" and more information about the specific kind of "help" being offered.
I work for a solar panel manufacturer and was not told by leadership or any supervisor to wear a mask when near certain machines. In fact, I worked an entire week without once being warned about the fumes and it took a fellow employee telling me about the fumes before i was aware of them.

Generally speaking, you hold the privilege (and thus the right) to keep information confidential, or to reveal it under the attorney-client privilege.

Be sure that the lawyer has agreed to file suit in your behalf. Do you have a written retainer agreement providing that the attorney will do so? If not, find another attorney who agrees, in writing, to file the case before the specified date.

Generally, an attorney can always quit, unless perhaps it's on the eve of trial, or some other circumstances apply so that you would be prejudiced by his sudden departure.

If you are charged with driving with a suspended license, the charges will stick, in my opinion. You received a copy of the order and knew about it.... View More
