? For lawyers, the most important thing is their reputation. Of course, it is not the distinction between good people and bad people that we usually say. Lawyers have no consideration in this respect at all, because few people are willing to offend lawyers and have a good relationship with them. They themselves are not limited to good guys and bad guys, but care about their own litigation success rate. No matter who you serve, as long as you can win the lawsuit, others will say that you have good ability and high level. On the contrary. Even if you defend justice at the top of your lungs, you will always end in failure. Our judiciary is completely fair and just, and your ability as a lawyer becomes a problem. Accordingly, your reputation as a lawyer will be greatly reduced. At that time, even good people didn't want to find you to solve legal disputes. What's the point of doing this job?
Here, I want to explain why lawyers in movies and TV series are complaining for the bad guys. There are two reasons. The first is people's prejudice against lawyers, and the second is that lawyers really like to fight for the bad guys. As for why, I will tell them one by one.
Let's start with prejudice. Our country still respects the profession of lawyer. Being a lawyer means that you have become the social elite in people's eyes. But the social elite is rich and capable. People who can't afford a lawyer, or people who don't like the high fees charged by lawyers, will automatically classify lawyers as bad people. Bad guys can afford lawyers, but we poor people can't.
? Then why do lawyers like to appeal for the bad guys? First, the bad guys have money and can keep dragging you. Poor people are ok for a year or two, but it really takes 3-4 years. Few people intend to waste time on this, so naturally, the winning rate of the bad guys is higher. Second, bad people are often people who can accept the advice of lawyers and know how to be flexible. In order to win the lawsuit, they will do whatever it takes, while good people are full of blood and pale in the face of justice.
