[edit: sorry I ended up on a tangent]
Lawyers are no guarantee. They are sloppy because they have no skin in the game, and they usually get paid regardless (although some have "uplift" fees which reward them for winning).
It is like hiring builders for your renovation. You still have to keep an eye on them and even tell them how to do their job, which of course is always a tense situation. If you develop a good relationship you can work as a team (requires a lawyer who is not insecure).
Best avoid situations which need a lawyer. Do not litigate lightly. There is no such thing as a watertight case. If you get a corrupt judge they can outright lie, there is no point appealing, and you can be gagged from telling anyone (even your wife, let alone a politician or journalist).
