Although many lawyers put cases on the back burner, forget about them and do not ever notify the client, they should notify the client when they have decided to not continue working on the case.

Does a lawyer have the right to bring in another lawyer to handle a case without the clients permission?
Most representation agreements state that the client is employing the law firm, rather than a particular lawyer in that firm, and so any lawyer in the firm may be handling aspects of your case without you actually being aware of the fact. Bringing an outside lawyer into the case would violate attorney/client confidentiality and would not be allowed unless the client agreed to it.
Does a lawyer have to say when they know their client is guilty?
No. All communications between a lawyer and his client is confidential, at least as it pertains to the client's case.However, there may be a future time when a lawyer is summoned to speak in court or to police about his client conversations. For example, his client is convicted, goes to prison, and is murdered there. In the murder case, a judge may overrule the lawyer/client confidentiality, and the lawyer would then have to talk about what he knows, in the interests of identifying &/or convicting his late-client's killer.

Can a lawyer tell his client about states evidence?
The general idea is that a lawyer isn't really supposed to withhold any information from his client - after all the lawyer is instructed by his client to carry out legal work on his behalf so any withholding of information could be detrimental to the client. If the State has evidence in relation to the client then the client needs to know and of course the lawyer should tell him - otherwise the case wont run properly. The only example I can think of is where the lawyer discovers either directly through the client or via some other agency that the client is involved in fraudulent activity. In England the lawyer is legally obliged to inform the authorities of this and is not permitted to "tip-off" his client that a subsequent arrest is imminent.
