He'd be legally protected if he had behaved as a lawyer and not someone assisting in money laundering, murder for hire and meth distribution.
Then there's the whole "possibly being murdered to keep him quiet" thing.
Saul had nothing to do with murder for hire and meth distribution. Those were "I know a guy who knows a guy" kinda deal. Saul has no direct ties to the Skin heads and Gus/Lydia.
and that "Sending Hank a one way trip to Belize" was just talk, confidentially with Walter. Saul had nothing to worry about that.
I can see money laundering, but its hard to tie people to that when transactions are under the table.
I think Saul had to disappear when Huell was gone. Huell witnessed pretty much everything Saul had done with Walt and Jesse. And in Saul's mind, if Huell talked, attorney client confidentiality is only going to protect him so much.
Couldn't Saul be charged under the RICO act? I'm not that familiar with it, but if The Dark Knight was accurate in its legal training, if you can charge one member of the conspiracy with a crime, you can charge them all?
Again, I don't know, but if that's true Saul is up a creek without a paddle.
Either way he's going to lose his ability to practice (you think the bar association would let him slide?), this way he's gone and doesn't have the worry of jail.

Hooking Walt up with Gus is most definitely not legal. He suggested that they send Jesse to Belize too.
Okay, I watched a few more episodes and read the wiki. Now I see how it's like a Western and meth is Walt's way of expressing his badass.
I'm going to be bad and skip to Season 5 and probably then go back through it.
Thanks for all your helpful info!
The fact you are even reading this thread before watching through to the end makes me angry.
Just trust the reviews. Sit down and enjoy the entertainment.
I need to go to the strip clubs you go to. The anticipation of seeing über hot chicks naked is awesome. Then you get there and you see pimpled butt A-cups.
Or maybe I'm just thinking of Ralph's in Halifax (well Dartmouth)
I'm ruminating a question to Walter, was it worth it?
On one hand, you have a man in midlife crisis dying of cancer, teaching chemistry to a bunch of brats for the nth time while being looked down by a thick eye brow man in a car wash.
If none of these had happened, Walter will likely die of cancer anyway leaving heavy debt burden to his family.
Even with what did transpire, Walter died leaving his family in probably, at least financially, a not too worse off situation comparing to the earlier scenario.
In between, Walter got to self actualise his potential in a criminal way albeit. I guess because we like the show, it is satisfying to witness this process instead of shunning it as all moral men should.
Would Walter do it again or would you do it if you were in Walter's shoes?
Walter could have let His old freinds pay his bills and lived comfortably off his teachers salary/pension and not devastated his whole family, so I think the answer is no.

The frustrating thing is that he was so close to getting away with it if not for leaving murder investigation evidence in his bathroom for his DEA brother-in-law to find. (I still hate that plot element, but I digress...).
I think he would say it was worth it. He was already dead inside to the point that when he was told he had inoperable lung cancer, he didn't care that much. Like he said; being Heisenberg made him alive. What good is existing a little longer with cancer if you do feel alive?
Also, it wasn't just his professional life that sucked, but even within his own family, he was a beta male to Hank (even if Hank did mean well). On Walt's birthday, they all watched Hank act like a big hero on TV. His own son idloized his brother-in-law more than him.
