Best Answer

Attorney-client privilege allows clients to tell their attorneys the truth, even if it would be harmful to their case. Because (under most circumstances) the attorney can't reveal that information without the client's permission, a criminal defendant, for example, could tell his attorney he had committed the crime without fear that the attorney would simply walk into court and announce his client's guilt.
