He Needs to Be Paid to Whore

There's always drama around The Donald!
Donald Trump is suing his old attorneys at the firm of Morrison Cohen for $5 million, saying the firm's use of his name on its website and in interviews violated his privacy.
Donald's suit claims the attorneys have unjustly made money by using his name and image without his consent "for advertising purposes".
His suit says: "Defendants, without Trump's written consent, have used — really commercially exploited — Mr. Trump's name and reputation, and continue to do so, on Morrison Cohen's website…"
On Monday, the law firm dismissed the lawsuit as an attempt by Trump to avoid paying $600,000 in overdue legal fees.
"We are pursuing our collections claim, we are adamant that we get paid for the services rendered, and we view this claim by the Trump organization as completely frivolous," said the firm's chairman.
Isn't there a client-attorney confidentiality rule or something out there?
Are lawyers allowed to say who they're representing without their client's permission?
Wonder who'll win this battle!
