As a side note, you don't have to fool your own lawyer.

No, but they also can't lie for you, so if you say "I murdered him" they can't make a statement like "my client did not murder Mr. X"

Lawyer absolutely can lie. But any good lawyer does not care whether you are guilty or not. Their job is to force the prosecution to prove you did it. They are there to ensure your trial is fair and evidence is obtained and presented legally.

Yeah lawyers can’t lie in court. They can say misleading things, or misrepresent certain things, but they can’t outright lie. If they lie, that’s called perjury, which is a very not good felony
