You are better off by asking this of the local bar association

Not a lawyer, but I would think if the lawyer is intimidating potential witnesses into silence then yes, he probably is breaking the law. Why do you ask this anyways?

Isn't this in the bar codes?

Lawyer (who is told "Yes, I'm guilty, but get me off") still can't lie/present false evidence to jury?

You can't convict because of attorney client privilege, but the lawyer can't present false statements to the court?

I guess it would depend on what activity you are calling intimidation.

If a lawyer is intimating that some issues a witness might not like will be brought to light,without making a direct threat than it is probably legal,scummy but legal.

Need a little more info.
