Yes, an attorney can subpoena medical records in a legal case with the proper authorization and compliance with relevant laws and regulations.
It is assumed that you are inquiring about another person's records. You cannot access another person's records unless you have authority pursuant to a durable power of attorney, a medical power of attorney, a court appointed guardianship or other court order or the patient has signed a release authorizing the facility to release records to you. Records of patients are not released without proper authorization.

Are you asking if one attorney can share the records with the other attorney?....or are you asking if the attorney who has the records can share the records with someone else other than the other attorney? Either way, no one should be sharing your records with anyone without your prior written consent. If these 2 attorneys are working for the same firm and are both working on your case...then you can likely assume that they will both see the records.. The way your question is written makes it unclear as to what the relationship is with the 2 attorneys..

The Data Protection Act states that you only have the right to view your own medical files. So you won't be able to see the records of your mother unless you obtain power of attorney so you can act on her behalf.
