In my state, someone was disbarred just a couple of days ago for having written a book in which he disclosed a some information told to him by a client that was confidential. Writing a book is worse, of course, and the disclosures were more embarrassing and substantial - but violating a client confidence is a pretty big deal as it sort of undermines the legal system.
