Because of the actions and behaviours of a minority. It is a bit the way Muslims are so often judged based on the actions of the fundamentalist terrorists. Some lawyers are in it for the money, even if that means that justice needs to be put aside.

According to an old liberal lawyer I heard on the radio the other day, The lawyers of today don't care about what is right or wrong,but rather what's legal and illegal. If they can win a case by some little thing out of place which has really no bearing on the case, even if it means ruining a decent person,or sending someone to prison and bringing on all the hardships to someones family,the lawyers will do it. Winning the case is everything. Also,lawyers selling out their clients is not an uncommon practice among them.

Lawyers have a bad reputation because in some cases they have to lie to win. And some lawyers choose a field where they lie all the time.

Most Lawyers in there mind think about just money instead of winning the case. Some lawyers don't try at all to win some do, some don't. No matter the outcome of the case lawyers will still get paid

Because they choose to lie to win a case even though they know they are lying. Also it's because they are after money made off anothers bad fortune. Why do they have to charge 33% in lawsuits. That's outrageous! I really don't know what to think of Public Defenders though. I think they make a salary and don't get rich one way or the other.

well some lawyers deserve this reputation cause for them winning a case is a matter of life and death.But it will be wrong to call all lawyers liars.The correct people to be blamed for this reputation are the predecessors.

They are for money. In some cases the defense lawyer and the other side of the lawyer work together and make the other sides to give them money.
I have'nt seen lawyers as i see in US.

They look at the law not the ethics. The dollars come from getting people to either fight hard (billable time) roll over quickly if on contigency basis.

Because they chose a profession where they sometimes have to lie to win.
--maybe not lie, but defend someone who they pretty much know is guilty.

Not only are they liars, they are greedy too. They will charge you a full hour for 2 minutes work.
