Lawyer duty bound to keep your secrets

I am planning to purchase an apartment without the knowledge of my husband. My reasons are mainly personal: He has in the past sold two plots that we bought together and registered under his name as the head of the family without my knowledge. To conduct due diligence, I have been advised to seek services of a lawyer. Much as the services of a lawyer are pivotal, my worry is that he or she may let the cat out of the bag. How can I ensure that the lawyer I shall engage remains tight-lipped about the transaction?

Emma, Nairobi.
