I Have an Attorney, But Why Won’t Other Attorneys Talk to Me About My Case?

The Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct Rule 4.02, Communication with One Represented by Counsel, explains that an attorney is not allowed to communicate with a person when the attorney knows the person is represented by a different attorney and the discussion will be about representation.  The exceptions to this rule is when the person’s attorney gives consent to discuss representation or the discussion is authorized by law.
