OP: I'm with you. A person who is clearly guilty has a lawyer to defend them. I'd hate to be that lawyer. In fact, I think it shouldn't exist. Sure I understand the EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO A LAWYER. :\

Lol you got trolled. A lawyer has to do his job, and the person is innnocent until proven guilty.

I'd argue the ones they're protecting deserve less respect. A lawyer can't exactly decline a case because he believes the commiter is guilty, that'd likely get him fired.


If a lawyer knows that their client is guilty, then the lawyer will try to get that client a plea deal. If that doesn't work, then the lawyer will try to defend their client using loopholes in the law or improper conduct by the prosecutors. But the lawyer can't tell their client to say something that isn't true.

Plus a bad reputation.

A lawyer job has imo been 80% percent about the money. 20% to try and do good for someone that deserves it. But in the end, they get paid great money. Especially with claims.

There are a lot of different types of Lawyers. Some Real Estate attorney is not a bad person.

They should make it how it is in back to the future. The defense has no lawyer and there's only a prosecutor. Problem solved.

OP, have you ever been to a court case before?


Law and Order counts, right?... RIGHT?

For a system designed to insure protection from abuse, I find it odd that the way it's set up there's always one side trying to deceive the judge and jury.

Ok so when the whole world thinks you're guilty when you're not, who's gonna defend you?

Im sorry OP but you are clearly very misinformed or very young.

Its nothing to do with deception. It's the production and display of evidence.

While that may be true, I'm just going to pretend otherwise.

Lawyers and reporters. They're both manipulative liars.

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

The judicial system only works when you have zealous and competent advocacy on BOTH SIDES.

It is not for a lawyer to decide whether his client is guilty. It is for the jury to decide. The lawyer's job is to work as hard as he can for his client. Refusing to do so is unethical.

It would be ridiculously easy for me to prove conclusively that the reason you have all of the freedoms that you enjoy today is because of the exact lawyers that you are criticizing right now. Literally every single major freedom you have from warrantless searches, racial/ethnic profiling, forced confessions, and a whole lawbook full of other examples is the result of a defense lawyer who was doing an excellent job of defending an unquestionably "guilty" client.

Show some respect.

No, but ethics should come into play when selecting clients. One of my good friends worked for the top defense attorney in the US, based in Dayton, OH. He related to me the nature of some of the people they managed to keep out of prison. They were the worst kinds of people.
