California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Platt v. Superior Court (Contreras), 214 Cal.App.3d 779, 263 Cal.Rptr. 32 (Cal. App. 1989):
"The attorney-client privilege is an important element in the effectiveness with which the counselor-at-law is to advise his client and safeguard the latter's interests. Where, as here, the right to the privilege is clearly established it should not be cast aside." (Holm v. Superior Court, supra, 42 Cal.2d at p. 509, 267 P.2d 1025.)
