A lawyer that lies????

I know the general public does not like attorneys. But in general, the bad reputation is undeserved. We are the only profession that can end up on charges if we lie to the public. At least, I take my professional ethics seriously.

Even so, I do run into an occasional lawyer that does something to make me ashamed of my profession. In a hearing yesterday, I listened as another lawyer lied through his eyeballs (a favorite saying of mine). There was little I could do. It was a matter of my word against the word of another. There were only three people listening and one of them was a judge. But I know it probably happens and I also know this has something to do with our reputation.

I apologize on the behalf of all lawyers that consider the truth a necessity. There are a lot of us that feel that way. The only problem is: the ones that don’t feel that way are the most noticeable.
