Why do people say most lawyers are cold blooded liars and crooks?

Well over here in England most Lawyers defend criminals and get fat with the legal aid fees, they know full well the persons they are defending are guilty, this is why the decent people hate them. O.J.Simpson got away with murder because he was black, not because of bad prosecutors and police.

You would be a prosecutor which requires you to be an attorney.
The stereotype of the cold blooded attorney is because they take on frivolous cases and defend criminals (OJ Simpson) who are guilty

Becuase people fear (hate. whatever you wanna call it) what they don't understand.......
If I'm innocent and charged with a crime, that's the kind of lawyer I want: a cold blooded liar crook, not afraid to play dirty if that's what it takes to save my life.
There are too many innocent people that end up in jail, so I wouldn't trust my life to a "miss/mister congeniality.'

The lawyer's job is to insure that everyone is held to the same standard of the law in the US. Even if you think your client is guilty (or you know he is guilty), you are there to be sure that all the evidence and testimony used against him is the same nature as that used against other persons.
O.J. Simpson walked away because of the deplorable job the police did when they investigated the incident and the sloppy way they collected and controlled the evidence.
If we said, "Who cares, the guy is guilty" then we open up the possible that the police can just manufacture evidence in any way they want to put people in jail or send them to the electric chair.
It is the attorney's job to see that corrupted evidence is exposed and cannot be considered in the case.
If we consistently allow first time petty theft criminals to work a plea deal to avoid prosecution, then an attorney makes sure that his/her first time petty theft client receives the same advantage that all the others have.
It's not always about insuring that everyone is punished for every law that is broken, it is about insuring that all people are being treated equally in the judicial system.
There are folks who say that the attorneys who defend "obviously guilty" people are just doing it to get high fees and get rich off the system. Just as there are racial bigots and sexists, there will always be people with those opinions of attorneys. That doesn't make them right.
And if you want to send criminals to jail, then once you are an attorney you have to join the District Attorney's office, because that's who handles criminal cases. Beware that if you are a really good attorney, you will make far less money working as a prosecutor than you would if you were with a private law firm.

Some, particularly litigators and criminal defense attorneys, are both crooks and liars.
Many years ago, criminal defense attorneys petitioned the court to allow people arrested for RICO violations to keep a portion of their ill-gotten gains so they would have money to pay their attorneys. They said the accused have a right to a defense. What they were really saying is that criminal defense attorneys have a right to take what is really taxpayer money to pay their fees.
These guys could care less about the “rights” of the accused. All they care about is their fees. But don't expect them to admit that.
