I don't see how criminal defense attorneys can ever be considered trashy.
Well, it takes a special type of person to burn the world surrounding an obviously guilty client in order to help the obviously guilty client. But it is their job. You just have to really buy into that field and be totally ok with fricking over a lot of people to protect a shitty person.

Talked to an older guy who is now an ADA and has a private practice, but he started in criminal defense when he first got out.
He said he looked at it as him playing a role in the system guaranteed by the Constitution. He didn't do it because he liked his clients; he did it because he liked that our system guaranteed everyone a fair shake and he was a cog in that.
Now granted, he only did it for a few years before he burned out and moved in to other areas of law, but he said that was his rationale while he was doing it.

I'm sure that's how they all look at it. And it's a fair way to look at it.
The question is when you're 99% sure your client did it, and you're imputing motive or some other stigmatizing action on someone you're 99% sure didn't do it, is that justifiable under your role in the system? Or do you just suspend belief/disbelief while you do that? It's a matter of degree. Casting doubt is one thing, tossing out allegations with reckless abandon is arguably different.
I will say that prosecutors do the same sometimes, and I think that is most definitely NOT their role.

Agreed, and I'd say doing criminal defense work takes an extra special degree of rationalizing than maybe even other, non- criminal defense lawyers all have

All lawyers are POS.

King of New Orleans telivised commercial
"1 call that's all 525 8000"
Best local music influences on his commericals
"Chip Forstall Takes care of it all"
Best catch phrase
"put the womac on them"

But insurance managers are awesome. We can at least agree on that?

Only when they overrule the adjuster to make the plaintiff whole

I think the individual lawyer is much more in control of his or her trashiness, as opposed to his or her field. I know plenty of trashy lawyers from all kinds of firms, and some goods ones from the same batch of firms.

I am happy that TT&E attorneys are not on the trashy list.
