so its the lawyers fault for being honest with his client? im still not getting it...
An example I met with a adult attorney, he told me if you are my client and shit happens. I will defend you, we will figure out the money. I wont leave you hanging. So with him I would owe him for the rest of my life but he would defend me.Where someone else could say I need every dime upfront or I go no further pleading guilty is your best bet. Now in both of the cases its their right but a attorney is judged by his track record.

I quote the movie the verdict "We aren't paid to do our best, we are paid to win."
