Basically you can tell your attorney anything about any crime you have already committed and he can't tell anyone, but if you are continuing to break the law the attorney communication is not protected. You can use an attorney to defend you for crimes you have already committed, but you can't use an attorney to protect you while still breaking the law.
Ok, that makes sense.
Thank you
