the guilt or innocence of a client should not concern an attorney, in a court of law every defendant is presumed innocent until proven otherwise,every attorney should except what his client tells him and strive to prove his innocence regardless of what he himself believes to be the truth

Your question is puzzling. Are you looking for an attorney who will tell you "I don't believe you" if he thinks you're lying? That's fine; attorneys need to be frank with clients so the clients understand what's going on.
Are you looking to ask an attorney whether he thinks a particular client is lying? You can't do that. Besides the fact that the attorney won't tell you; they probably CAN'T tell you -- it would violate the attorney-client privilege, the work product doctrine, and most of all, ethics rules related to client confidences and representation.
