How does one know if a lawyer is basically honest with the growing number of these type stories in the media?

I'm not sure Norma but Jennifer Green wasn't honest with us with with holding funds after our closing. I'm sure if the lawyer is doing the right thing regarding their clients then they shouldn't have a problem.
