7. Where does it say "without his lawyers present"?

Whenever I had a cooperating client I was ALWAYS there, no matter who the client was talking to or which agency. I have NEVER heard of such a thing and ethically I don't know how an attorney could advise a client to accept such a term.


I do have a migraine so maybe I missed it, but my opinion about it stays the same.


Okay...... See it after another read.... Looks like boiler plate language saying he doesn't have to have counsel present at every meeting, but all he has to do is request in writing to the prosecutors that his counsel be present. This may be useful for law enforcement if say they just want him to clarify or identify things. Would be more time efficient (less billable hours for attorneys) to have him do this up front general waiver. I guarantee that any big confab will have his attorneys there beside him.
