A lawyer lies or advises you or someone else to lie in the course of a case.
A lawyer represents you as well as another person whose interests conflict with yours.
A lawyer will not give you money he or she is holding on your behalf or will not give you a full written accounting.

Bribing a public official, including a judge or a lawyer, is a crime. Bribery is the act of giving something of value (e.g., money) to a particular person to influence that person's judgment in favor of the person making the bribe. Bribery of a public official is one of the most common examples of bribery. Both the giver and the receiver of the bribe are guilty of the crime. Also, in some states, merely soliciting a bribe can be a crime. The crime of bribery is complete when the bribe has been received, and it makes no difference whether or not the person paying the bribe obtains what he bargained for.
