Answer:

Her actions were illegal

Step-by-step explanation:

We could make the conclusion that the attorney's actions were illegal. Consider, under the requirements of the law, an attorney acts as a representative to clients by giving advice to the clients, etc.

But they do not have the responsibility of making decisions for their clients except they receive the consent of their clients.
