Hi:
From what little you have explained it appears that this is a substantial breach of the attorney client confidence, however, it really depends on the facts and circumstances. I believe you should contact an attorney or I will be happy to discuss this in further detail should you wish to contact me.
Good luck

No. A lawyer may not discuss a client's case with the press without the consent of the client. A specific regulation governing the ethical conduct of attorneys covers this.
