Dodgy lawyer restricted by flashy stereotype (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shyster

'dodgy lawyer' is the definition.
(term for an immoral lawyer)

'restricted by flashy stereotype' is the wordplay.
'restricted by' indicates a hidden word.
'SHYSTER' is hidden in the letters of 'flashy stereotype'.

(Other definitions for shyster that I've seen before include "Person who acts unprofessionally - sounds bashful" , "Disreputable practitioner (especially lawyer)" , "Dodgy lawyer" , "Lawyer using unethical methods" , "Crooked bar person" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
