It’s not about being indigent. The shittiest client I ever had was also the richest. I hated every second I had to be in a room with him, and I hated his bullshit greed-based lawsuit. But he got the same zealous advocacy that any client got. That’s the oath you take.
Also, this firm in particular is asking to be released from representing Bannon because he isn’t paying his bills.
Are they supposed to keep representing him while they’re suing him? That might be a teensy conflict of interest. ![]()
Look, it’s obvious to everyone in the world that Bannon is an evil, lawless piece of shit. But you seem to be saying if an attorney represents him, the attorney must be evil too. And I’m telling you, as someone with many years of firsthand experience, that is not how the profession works.
