Does a lawyer have to say when they know their client is guilty?
No. All communications between a lawyer and his client is confidential, at least as it pertains to the client's case.However, there may be a future time when a lawyer is summoned to speak in court or to police about his client conversations. For example, his client is convicted, goes to prison, and is murdered there. In the murder case, a judge may overrule the lawyer/client confidentiality, and the lawyer would then have to talk about what he knows, in the interests of identifying &/or convicting his late-client's killer.

Is it safe to hire a lawyer online?
I would prefer not to hire a lawyer online because you never know what kind of attorney you are going to get. A website for that law office can say anything that sounds good. You are better off calling the attorney office and making an appointment with the attorney for an initial consultation before deciding on who to hire.
Does a lawyer have the right to bring in another lawyer to handle a case without the clients permission?
Most representation agreements state that the client is employing the law firm, rather than a particular lawyer in that firm, and so any lawyer in the firm may be handling aspects of your case without you actually being aware of the fact. Bringing an outside lawyer into the case would violate attorney/client confidentiality and would not be allowed unless the client agreed to it.
What would one do to prepare for a lawyer consultation?

What is antonym of lawyer?
I'll consider this to be a vague question. If I had to rewrite the question, I'd put it this way: "In a court of law if a defendant is represented by his/her lawyer or attorney, then what is the opposite of the defendant's lawyer?" The answer in this case would be the prosecutor, also an attorney/lawyer, but with opposite goals.
