System and method for attorney-client privileged communication

A computer-implemented system for conducting a privileged communication between a client user and an attorney subscriber, the system comprising:

• a communication application having a corresponding communication server;
• the communication server including a processor and a memory;
• a client user computing device configured to access the communication application via a network;
• an attorney computing device configured to access the communication application via the network;
• and
• wherein the communication application and the communication server are respectively configured to execute a method comprising:
• accessing the communication application via the client user computing device;
• accessing the communication application via an attorney computing device;
• inputting, via the client user computing device and the communication application, a communication session request to the attorney subscriber;
• initiating a communication session between the client user and the attorney subscriber in response to the communication session request, via the communication application;
• wherein the communication session is configured to be selectively conducted via the communication application in a non-privileged mode and in a privileged mode;
• wherein in the non-privileged mode, the communication session is conducted via the communication server in communication with the user client computing device and the attorney computing device;
• wherein in the privileged mode the communication session is conducted via a direct communication link initiated via the communication application such that, in the privileged mode:
• the communication session is conducted between the user client computing device and the attorney computing device via the direct communication link;
• and
• the communication server is disconnected from the direct communication link.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing thereon computer instructions, wherein the computer instructions are executed by a computer to implement method for conducting a privileged communication session between a client user and an attorney subscriber, the method comprising:

• accessing, via a network, a communication application having a corresponding communication server;
• wherein the communication server comprises a memory and a processor;
• wherein the communication application is accessed by a client user via a client user computing device in communication with the network;
• wherein the communication application is accessed by an attorney subscriber via an attorney computing device in communication with the network;
• inputting, via the client user computing device and the communication application, a communication session request to the attorney subscriber;
• initiating a communication session between the client user and the attorney member in response to the communication session request, via the communication application;
• wherein the communication session is configured to be selectively conducted via the communication application in a non-privileged mode and in a privileged mode;
• wherein in the non-privileged mode, the communication session is conducted via the communication server in communication with the user client computing device and the attorney computing device;
• wherein in the privileged mode the communication session is conducted via a direct communication link initiated via the communication application such that, in the privileged mode:
• the communication session is conducted between the user client computing device and the attorney computing device via the direct communication link;
• and
• the communication server is disconnected from the direct communication link.
