Or maybe there's one set of lawyers who are good at defending innocent defendants and another set of lawyers good at defending guilty ones?
Not a lawyer, but two different high level policies for defense depending on whether your client is innocent or not makes sense to me. At the highest level, it may even come down to two classes of lawyers with expertise in each category.
Makes sense to me. One type of defense is focused on acquittal. The other is focused on getting the shortest sentence and/or smallest fines.
It's the kind of lawyer who will get you the best outcome when you know you'll be convicted of some very bad things.
No, it’s the kind of lawyer you can buy with money whose origins you can’t explain.
Yeah he went to Michael Avenatti first but he had a scheduling conflict.
