    Donna Rotunno has saved tens of innocent men from hundreds of man-years of incarceration. Harvey Weinstein is probably guilty and his case was unwinnable. I view her as a hero. Some people may view her as a villain.

    I am one of tens of millions of people who did not succeed in life. Tens of millions of people are nobody, and the majority of people have very little influence.

    I have argued a lot on forums, but my winning or losing means nothing. A lawyer's winning or losing an argument means a difference between freedom and decades of prison for the defendant. It can also mean a lot for the lawyer's career.

    Lawyers usually get paid the same either way. Perhaps the facts of the case are a little more determinant than the lawyer's pretty words.

    I have often said that once you have to get a lawyer involved, nobody really wins except the lawyer.

    When my wife and I were dating, she told me she was a hooker. She knew I'd never marry her if she told me the truth... that she was an attorney.

    A lawyer who wins a case grows in popularity. He/she can charge higher rates next time.

    NO!

    Many lawyers save innocent people from long prison terms.

    Or he only picks the cases where the facts are on his side.

    Stronger cases do not need best lawyers!
