So this is called lying.

Lying in general is considered morally wrong.

With that being said, it is not illegal to lie sometimes just as it is illegal to lie at other times. For example, when you swear under the penalties of perjury that you are telling the truth, you ought not lie.

In general, it's best to be honest and transparent when dealing with legal matters. If you don't have a lawyer, it's better to simply say so rather than making a false claim. If you do need legal assistance, it's important to seek out a qualified and experienced attorney who can help you navigate the complexities of the legal system.

It is not necessarily illegal to falsely claim that you have a lawyer. However, doing so could potentially have legal consequences depending on the specific circumstances.

If you are making this false claim in order to intimidate or deceive someone, then you could be accused of engaging in fraudulent activity or even extortion. On the other hand, if you simply make a statement about having an attorney without intending to deceive or intimidate anyone, then the statement may not be considered illegal.

It's important to note that falsely claiming to have a lawyer could also affect your credibility in any legal proceedings where you are involved. Judges and juries may view such claims as dishonest, which could ultimately hurt your case.

In short, just be honest. Tell the truth. It will make your life easier and less complicated and you won’t have any bad mojo or bad karma either.

I hope that found this helpful.
