Shyster

An unscrupulous lawyer.

“Rush Madder was a shyster in the Quorn Building. An ambulance chaser, a small-time fixer, an alibi builder-upper, anything that smelled a little and paid a little more. I hadn’t heard of him in conection with any big operations like burning people’s feet.”

Raymond Chandler, Goldfish (1939).
