A lawyer who has a reputation of being very ethical, methodical, knowledgeable and honest attracts a "better c lass" of people than a lawyer who represents known bums. That's just the way it works. That's why so m any ethical lawyers have spurned/turned down the donjohn. What ethical lawyer wants to be connected to him for any reason? What kind of reputation does a FIXER aspire to? Intimidation at best I guess. SIGH.
