That opens up a whole another can of worms.

If the discussions were before the act, then the Attorney-Client Privilege may not apply.

Examples:

1. You go to your lawyer and lay out your embezzlement plan so you can plan your defense.
2. You tell your lawyer you are going to kill that so and so.

There are more but these are the most common examples where there is no privilege.
