Your attorney is an idiot! You can't face criminal charges for asking someone to do their job. Your job is at will, meaning if you don't like it and have a problem being asked to do it, you can quit and find another one. Nobody is forcing you to stay with your company. If you are not comfortable doing your job, you don't have to do it. But if you agreed to be paid to do the job you were asked to do, then you should do it. Nobody is putting you in harms way. You agreed to do a job. Either do it or quit. Pretty simple.
Grow the fuck up!
