You obviously have a bone to pick with the legal profession. From my experience I have observed that lawyers tend to sometimes go overboard with their obligation to zealously advocate their clients position. We are supposed to present our client's interests in the best possible light. Unfortunately, this often is translated into a total disregard for the truth. The prosecutor wants the max. and the defender wants the min. The judge and jury are supposed to find the truth somewhere in the middle. Unfortunately, the winner is often the side with the best story. If the opponents can't prove the fallacies in the story, then that best story will win. Often both sides are lying, or not representing the true facts. Even the attorneys don't have the full story because the clients only tell them what they want them to hear. I have been blindsided by my own clients way too many times. After getting a surprise in court, the client sheepishly says that they didn't think the surprise evidence was important. We always tell the client to tell us everything and let us decide whether or not it is important.
I never knowingly misrepresent the facts or truth as I understand it. I don't like to play the min./max. game. I go for the reasonable answer and resolution from the beginning. Most of the time that works and I get a reasonable result.
To summarize, your pessimism is well founded but there are attorneys, notice I don't like to use the term lawyer, that are interested in finding the truth and doing justice.

Read the model rules for professional conduct. A lawyer cannot knowingly misrepresent facts to a tribunal. But hey, what is the meaning of knowingly?
Lawyers are a self-regulated profession. Not many lawyers want to get their peers in trouble, so a lot of lawyers get away with some undesirable actions. I think that lying is only a symptom of the greater problems with the system as a whole.
To answer your question, yes, it may be more appropriate to pronounce lawyer as liar.
