Cultural perception of lawyers

Hostility towards the legal profession is a widespread phenomenon.

The authors then generalized these common complaints about lawyers as being classified into five "general categories" as follows: abuse of litigation in various ways, including using dilatory tactics and

false evidence and making frivolous arguments to the courts;

preparation of false documentation, such as false deeds, contracts, or wills;

deceiving clients and other persons and misappropriating property;

procrastination in dealings with clients;
