Lawyers are not allowed to lie. Lying as a lawyer will get you disbarred, or at least in mucho trouble.

“Lawyers are not allowed to lie. Lying as a lawyer will get you disbarred, or at least in mucho trouble.”

I was in a lawsuit and, in judge’s chambers, the other side’s attorney outright lied. It was so blatant the judge slowly repeated what the attorney had just said and asked him if it was so. The attorney gave him a wide-eyed innocent look and swore it was. The judge said, “Thank you. That’s amazing.”

When I asked my attorney about the lie he shrugged and said something like, “That’s the system we have.”
