As Ms. Vanessa has stated, she is not the client. The client is very satisfied with the work of Mrs. Gately. Ms. Vanessa is angry because Mrs. Gately refused to break attorney client privilege and tell her about the case. I, Mrs. Gately's assistant, have done all I can do and provided all information that I can to her without breaking any confidentiality laws. She is not the client and I have never seen or heard verbal permission to speak with her on any specifics.
