‘Tis the season of liars, it seems. They are everywhere, some connected to the highest levels of government, some are a lawyer’s client, and some have lied under the lawyer’s watch. An older attorney with whom I worked early in my career once advised me, “When you see the client coming, you think ‘Here comes the enemy.’” Having had more than a few clients since then, I have come to realize that his cautionary words were sound advice.

We may be fortunate enough to be representing clients who are part of the news cycle, but the very real question that remains is how to handle a client you suspect of lying.
