Lawyers are supposed to be experts on the law. Logically, they are the last group of people that you would expect to see in jail or in court as the accused or defendant. Sadly, some of them do end up violating the laws that they swore to uphold and protect.
If you’re contemplating on hiring an attorney for your legal problems, make sure that he has no similar problems of his own. A lawyer who is busy defending himself will not be able to devote his entire time to his clients, or to anything else for that matter.
If the lawyer is candid, he would immediately disclose his past or present problems with the law. However, you can’t expect every attorney to be bold and honest enough to admit that they have committed a personal lapse on something that they should already be very familiar with. Go through court records in the state where your lawyer practices or conduct a background check on him and discover if he has a sterling character... or a tainted one.
