> law is one of the few remaining ethical professions.

No, it isn't, at least not in general. There are lawyers who enact their job as an ethical profession and we should be thankful for them. But there are lawyers who couldn't care less about being ethical who do pursue their own self-interest or unethical interests of others. Therefore it's not an ethical profession. Just one where you might find someone who cares about your rights.

I don't want to throw the same insults at each and every lawyer, because there are clearly some who don't deserve it but the majority of lawyers I had to deal with so far definitely deserved every bad name they're called.

And those lawyers get disbarred when they get caught, and are forced to compensate their victims, and can't use bankruptcy or other means to evade paying such reimbursements.

Individual lawyers may not be ethical, the profession as a whole is. In order to remove the bad apple, you need to report them to the state bar association.
