Your lawyer is your advocate, your friend, you counselor, your voice, your support system and your advisor so it seems obvious that you ought to tell your lawyer the truth. It seems obvious that you shouldn’t mislead your lawyer or withhold critical or important information.  Yet, this happens too frequently.  When you lie to your lawyer, you’re lying to yourself.

Take a listen.
