The eyes of the lord are everywhere keeping watch on the wicked and the good. ‘proverbs 15:3’


I understand why you feel like that. Of course, not every lawyer is the same. Some are decent, brave, and genuinely committed to justice. But when you have been harmed by poor, passive, dishonest legal representatives, it becomes almost impossible to trust the profession. What is most painful is the silence of the “good” lawyers. Very rarely do we see legal professionals openly condemning misconduct within their own profession. They may criticise clients, families, litigants in person, whistleblowers, or “difficult” parents, but where is the same public outrage when lawyers fail vulnerable people, mislead clients, ignore evidence, or enable injustice? Family law and Court of Protection cases deal with trauma, children, disabled people, liberty, family life, and human rights. These are not ordinary disputes. Lawyers in these areas should be held to the highest possible ethical standard. When they treat people as case files, income streams, or procedural problems, they become part of the harm. So yes, I would not say “never trust lawyers.” But I would say: never trust blindly. Ask questions. Keep records. Demand explanations in writing. And remember that a professional title does not automatically mean integrity.
