Morality almost certainly has nothing to do with it. It's all about risk management and revenue. In professional services firms, there are certain risks that aren't worth the revenue the may yield.It's hard to imagine 130 lawyers refusing a crack at Trump's checkbook. They're not the most morals-bound types, as a rule.More FAKE news bullshit. You don't go Lawyer shopping when you have a GREAT lawyer you have used for DECADES and has done a great job for you. As usual more "anonymous" sources...YAWN.Oh dear. Trump's reputation as a deadbeat has caught up with him.
Four top law firms turned down requests to represent Trump
---
“The concerns were, ‘The guy won’t pay and he won’t listen,’” said one lawyer close to the White House who is familiar with some of the discussions between the firms and the administration, as well as deliberations within the firms themselves.
---
In addition, law firms are concerned about losing other clients and losing employees if they sign on with Trump. Trump's stench of failure is pervasive. It's the reason why so many government positions are unfilled -- nobody wants "Worked with the Trump admin" on their resume.
No, this thread isn't relevant enough to read the entire thing.see post #35 babble you dummyI know a lot of attorneys, over many decades. I grew up with attorneys..my oldest sister and her husband were attorneys. I've worked for attorneys, dated attorneys, been friends with attorneys, worked with attorneys, and partied with them too.
There is no such thing as a pariah in the attorney world. Attorneys don't blackball, and they don't unilaterally boycott hahaha. Such a thought is ludicrous in the EXTREME. There are always attorneys who LOVE to take on cases that piss people off. This thread is fucking idiotic and laughable at the same time.
More lies from the mental looney left. In the link posted, it clearly says that Trump has an attorney.
everybody hates Trump.
"Everybody" doesn't hate Trump, but the people and firms at the top of the legal profession have little or nothing to gain by affiliating themselves with Trump and being thus exposed to and having therefore to mitigate the impacts of his shenanigans. Trump needs to reach out to attorneys/firms for whom the value proposition of being bothered with him can be quantifiably be shown, with regard to their revenue streams and reputations, to be a positive one.
The other thing is few attorneys want to take on high profile cases for clients who won't listen - it can be disasterous.
Bullshit. Attorneys don't care as long as they get paid for their time. Besides, what makes you think that attorneys tell their clients what to do????

I would think the last thing a defense attorney wants is a loose cannon who's responses are unpredictable. Usually these things are well coached and the client is told what to shut his mouth about and how not to go off on the wrong tangents. That's the impression I get.

Defense attorneys thrive on loose cannons.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be defense attorneys. They'd be prosecutors.
Who also thrive on loose cannons.
Conflict is their bread and butter.

I would think that any reputable attorney would jump at the chance to represent the president. Look at the referrals. Attorneys make or break off of high profile clients. Sorry to have brought facts into this.
You can search this forum and see for yourself, anyone can that all liberals find reality a hard buy."Everybody" doesn't hate Trump, but the people and firms at the top of the legal profession have little or nothing to gain by affiliating themselves with Trump and being thus exposed to and having therefore to mitigate the impacts of his shenanigans.

Well, then one can soundly conclude you consider yourself to be nobody for you responded to my original post and you keep responding to subsequent ones.I'm not surprised you're buying it....see how this works?
Unnamed sources should be your first clue, moronIf you construe my comments above as my "buying" anything, you either didn't fully read them or didn't comprehend them. I don't know which, but it's one of the two.I'm not surprised you're buying it
Nobody cares, you're not important, now go bother someone else
Excuse me? I bother you? Let me remind you that I didn't quote you or do anything to attract expressly your attention. You, on the other hand, directly quoted my remarks, and attempted to discredit them by lambasting them as "fake news."
Let me share a few pearls of information with you:
- I'm not a journalist or news organization; therefore I don't ever deliver any kind of news, fake, real or otherwise.
- I made a single substantive point in my original post and you've had no substantive rebuttal to that point, yet you did attempt to impugn it. If you have in your mind developed a cogent rebuttal, by all means, present it. If you don't, act like an adult and keep mum about it. (If my remark bothered you, it can only have done in that you have no direct and substantive rebuttal to it.)
- If it be that you think profoundly absurd and unfounded the substantive points I made in any of my posts, fine, but again, act like and adult and eschew dignifying them with a response.
I said nobody cares
I'm sure at least one of us will be happier for that being so, and I am well aware that I can speak only for myself.Off to ignore you go.

Possibly, but if their client is unwilling to listen to advice it's a risky endeavor.
That's the thing, Trump has been in business for decades and in NYC for decades, he has and knows attorneys.
You have that correspondence backwards. It is prosecutors who prevail at trail as a result of defendants being "lose cannons." Defense attorneys make their mark, among other ways, by prevailing at trial, and a "lose cannon" client is the last thing that can facilitate that happening.everybody hates Trump.

Surely you don't think the handful of defense attorneys who are at the top of their profession and whose names are recognized by the general public achieved their renown by losing? Fame aside, no attorney makes a name for themselves by losing cases. I mean really. Would you, if you are of a mind to assert your lack of guilt, engage a defense attorney who's reputation is that of being a great plea bargainer? I'm suspect there's a place in the legal profession for that skill, but one would need to admit guilt if that's the type of advocate one should hire. About the last thing Trump'll do is admit guilt, so that'd definitely not the kind of defense attorney he wants.

No, it's a win/win for the attorney. They get paid if the client takes their advice or not.
Besides, this is all just a fantasy based upon a supposition.
