Do you think the lawyer was gullible? How could he have avoided being taken for a ride?

The lawyer was new to this profession and inexpert. He had yet to understand the way the world works or functions. He could have done his homework before going to the village. He could have taken a photograph of Lutkin if available. Before depending upon Bill he could have doubly checked with other people as well. He could have avoided sending Bill alone to search Lutkin.
