Do you believe that lawyers can be bought out

by the other side?

They say corruption can enter on all sides of life..do you think

that it enters into the legal system?

yeah. i believe that. not all lawyers are good. some are only there for money. so it's possible that lawyers can be bought by the other side.


myLot reputation of 93/100. littlefranciscan (5143)   ranked 431 out of 32,950 in life  2 years ago

Are there any such lawyers that are not in it for the money?

Are there those who are really and truly in it for the client?

ISn't it all about money? Why are there no pro bono lawyers?

Yes no doubt...the legal system it self is corruptedcheering


myLot reputation of 93/100. littlefranciscan (5143)   ranked 431 out of 32,950 in life  2 years ago

Really ..is it corrupted.. why would the system that is

suppose to represent the rights of people be corrupted?

Why ?


myLot reputation of 85/100. Misterwit (2258)   ranked 7,748 out of 32,950 in life  2 years ago

Because the more corrupted the more you shine,nowadays..

And it is easy to get things done through corruption rather than the legal ways..cheering


myLot reputation of 93/100. littlefranciscan (5143)   ranked 431 out of 32,950 in life  2 years ago

Wow..isn't that a paradox..

The more corrupt you are .. the more you shine?

That is completely shameful

Lawyers who doesn't have the firm conviction about right and wrong and doesn't fear God can be bought by those who have the money. One lawyers told me that when money talks he listens. Reading between the lines, I understood that when money is involved, there is little that the lawyer can do. However, I believe that there are still good lawyers whose conviction cannot be bought. Good day.


myLot reputation of 93/100. littlefranciscan (5143)   ranked 431 out of 32,950 in life  2 years ago

REally a lawyer really told you that the more the money given the more

he will listen..that is totally wrong. totally bad bad bad.

I do believe there are good lawyers too, not everyone is bad

Most are good.

Never forget, " 99% of lawyers are responsible for giving the rest a bad reputation!".

It is fundamental to the legal profession that there is no right or wrong, only legal or illegal. Combine that thought with "Innocent until proven guilty" and most lawyers conclude it is perfectly acceptable to do anything as long as one does not get caught.

While the above sounds like a harsh view of the legal profession, experience tells me it is true.


myLot reputation of 93/100. littlefranciscan (5143)   ranked 431 out of 32,950 in life  2 years ago

Wow.. that is a really potent post you have here and

I cannot challenge your position.

I agree with you that many will do what they can as

long as they are not caught..after all who better

knows all the loop holes then a lawyer..;)

Yes, it can happen. Money is the number 1 factor of corruption and it doesn't change anything whether it's in a legal system, government, etc.. If you wanna win the case even though you're losing then money will do the trick.


myLot reputation of 93/100. littlefranciscan (5143)   ranked 431 out of 32,950 in life  2 years ago

Is that how to win the case? Anyone got a million dollars to give me;)???

I rather win fairly then by corruption

Every lie has it's consequence; perhaps not in this life but

surely in the life to come.

First hand, oh yes and a plight that can last for years. Always for the reasons of financial gain. It is only when they get caught may they shut down but even then, another angle can continue.
Lawyers can be bought but they can also steal. Or should I say set a client up to take them for everything that they are worth. I have seen it.
Although there are some very good lawyers who are honest and upstanding, it appears they are a minority.

I believe they can be.

I've heard of cases where companies have been suspected of buying off the representative of another individual. I've never really personally witnessed it, although a friend took a company to tribunal because they unfairly sacked him as they was trying to force him into redundancy and he had a very strong case but lost despite the owner of our workplace at the time offering him a small amount to settle the claim.


myLot reputation of 93/100. littlefranciscan (5143)   ranked 431 out of 32,950 in life  1 year ago

I often wondered whether lawyers..opposing lawyers..made deals

with each other unbeknown to the clients they represent. I think

it happens with judges and police.
