Complying with Subpoenas and Court Orders

Dr. Zelechoski reviews the types of requests for information that practitioners may receive for various legal purposes, including subpoenas and court orders. She discusses the sometimes conflicting ethical and legal obligations of protecting client confidentiality, asserting privilege, and complying with the law, and provides strategies for responding to these records requests in ways that minimize risk.
