Do you believe lawyers can be bought out

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
