Why are lawyers so expensive? All they do is lie. I can do that for free!

Lawyers are expensive because the work they do is often highly specialized and requires years of training and experience. They must also comply with various laws, regulations, and ethical standards. They can also be expensive because of the amount of time they put into each case—lawyers often put in 60–80 hour weeks to effectively represent their clients. Additionally, a lot of the work that lawyers do requires a significant financial investment on the part of their client, such as paying for depositions, discovery, expert witnesses, and various other expenses. Therefore, their clients often have to bear a heavy cost to have a legal defense that gives them the best possible chances of success.
