The lawyer cannot tell you anything, but you can tell the lawyer whatever you care to tell the lawyer. It is best to put it in writing and mail it to the lawyer certified mail, return receipt requested for future use if needed. You can also appear in court. The lawyer cannot talk to you about the case if his client does not give him permission (but that does not stop you from making the effort to provide information.
