A lawyer can choose who they want to represent. They are not required to defend everyone who walks in their door.
Lawyers who defend people like Tony Soprano are most likely only in it for some big money and are probably without morals themselves.
My father in law was a partner in a law firm. He was a very honorable man and turned down many potential clients due to his own moral code.
Youre stating the obvious. I think it was the original posters intention to question the motivation of some attorneys who care not one whit about anything OTHER than winning. A person does not have to sell his or her soul to win, yet many do.
