It’s perfectly reasonable for any client to be suspicious of my motivations and alignment, I’m after all paid directly by the same government that is gunning to throw them behind bars! The clients that are most honest with me are overwhelmingly either newbies to the criminal justice system or factually innocent. The ones who lie to me the most are frequent flyers whose guilt is not in doubt (non-legally speaking). Everyone wants to be let out of jail, the problem is that the latter group has no viable recourse available to make that happen, and their typical temperament drifts them towards pathetic dishonesty.

An unsurprising corollation there but I have to wonder if there is not also some causative relationship present as well.
