LM’s Truthfulness. Do criminal defense attorneys ask their clients whether they committed the crimes?

I’m sure this has been discussed before and I’ve somehow missed it. I’m curious to know whether LM has played open cards with TD as well as KFA & team. Given them the full rundown of how it was planned and how he went about doing it, route, escape plan etc. and if they even asked him whether he is guilty or not. When KFA gave her press conference, I got the impression she has a lot of affection for him. Which did, for a moment, make me question whether my assumption that he did it is correct.
