First is how would you know if his really an accredited lawyer and also, why a lawyer? Does he have knowledge about ICO and blockchain. He maybe a legit person starting an ICO, but that would be enough to have a successful ICO? I think your basis is purely about legality, and that is not the only criteria cause experience with blockchain is needed. In cryptocurrency, its better if the owner have these traits, legal, technical, and financial enough to support his need to launch.

Also maybe his legit on website but the truth is he is not that person at all.
