Spot a Dishonest Lawyer

How do you spot a dishonest lawyer? While dishonest lawyers are rare due to strict consequences, some might come off as too slick. The key? Trust your instincts. Interview several lawyers, avoid anyone who makes you uncomfortable, and choose someone you genuinely connect with and trust. Here's how to find the right lawyer for you.

How to Spot a Dishonest Lawyer

All right, how do you spot a dishonest lawyer? Well, the first thing is—they twist their mustache like this (just kidding).

Seriously, there aren’t that many dishonest lawyers because they either get disbarred or suspended from practicing law, and they learn their lesson pretty quickly. That said, there are plenty of lawyers you might consider a little too slick.

So, how do you avoid them? Here’s the key:

  • If you need a lawyer, interview several.
  • Don’t go with the first lawyer you come across.
  • Avoid anyone who makes you feel uncomfortable or tries too hard to convince you they’re smarter than you are.

Instead, choose someone you feel a genuine connection with—someone you can trust. That’s how you steer clear of a dishonest lawyer.
