Can a Client Reveal Privileged Information to a Judge

[merle]

My question relates to legal practice in the state of: ARIZONA, and my question:
1-Can I file a motion to a judge to request a rescheduling of a hearing (and send to all parties as required in motions sent to a judge) and include the communication between my attorney and myself, to demonstrate coercion,misrepresentation, and duress were the reasons for signing the contract which canceled the hearing that was supposed to occur?

2-Also, if the agreement I signed states all negotiations shall be kept confidential "apart from the parties' attorneys, and except as required by law, the court or any competent authorities" is the judge considered "as required by law" or how can I send the agreement to the judge since it is evidence of the misrepresentation leading to the execution of the agreement?

Attorney-client privilege belongs to the client. If you choose to waive it, you can disclose all of your confidential communications. Be aware that once you open up the door it may be possible for the other party to get a lot more information than you want them to know. You have a lawyer or this wouldn't be an issue - you need to work with your lawyer.

I know nothing about the agreement at issue, or what you hope to achieve by submitting it to the court. Again, talk to your lawyer.

If I chose to waive attorney client privilege by revealing evidence to the judge to support my allegations of coercion by my attorney to sign a settlement, (which I allege he made a settlement agreement with the defendants attorneys without my consent and advised/misrepresented my rights so I met the agreement he made) does that mean my attorney can share other evidence I have supplied against the defendant, with the defendants legal team to be used against me? I terminated my lawyer from representing me due to the circumstances above, and can't afford getting a new attorney, yet I feel an unjust wrong was done to me and that needs to be heard and judged upon...I don't want to lose the valuable evidence I have against the defendant so they can build a case against me, and want to make sure the confidential evidence I've given my attorney is not given to the defense.
So the question begs...if I share limited confidential communication to support my allegations that coercion occured, does that allow my attorney (former attorney now) to give my other confidential evidence to the defendants legal team or anyone else who might use my evidence to prepare a defense against me?

You signed the agreement, and you are presumably a competent adult.

Just understand that if you do not have an attorney representing you, the kind of motion for rehearing you are comtemplating filing as a pro se will almost certainly be promptly DENIED without further ado, and case closed.
