If it involves medical info and the attorney is contracted by a covered entity, maybe:

Unfortunately not medical.

Who is paying the attorney?

Whose private information is in the documents?

Someone else is paying the attorney and there is information about me.

Need a little more detail. Why is that a problem?

It's not secure.

Exactly, and we know that Google reads all emails going through.

Insufficient context
