When working with an attorney, you should never lie, omit crucial facts, conceal damaging evidence, or ask your lawyer to falsify documentation or perjure themselves in court. Lawyers are bound by strict professional ethics and attorney-client confidentiality, meaning honesty is essential to build an effective legal defense. Telling falsehoods prevents your attorney from anticipating opposing arguments, destroys your credibility before a judge or jury, and can even result in your lawyer legally withdrawing from representing your case entirely due to ethical violations.
