I would never release information to a GAL without my patient's permission unless I had a judge's written order allowing the communication.
In addition, I would only communicate with a GAL in writing, since one of my colleagues claims to have been misquoted by a GAL when the GAL described the phone call with my colleague in his report.

Reason: Just realized that ROI stood for "Release of Information"
