When you lose in court you can just claim the system is crooked and rigged against you.

^This.

Lawyers for politicians or celebrities (not that there is much difference between the two here... we are sort of like Italy that way) differ greatly from the lawyers normal people hire in everyday life.

I work with and have met a lot of lawyers. They are pretty much all intelligent, hard-working professionals. Most try to keep a low-profile and value (treasure) their privacy. Those who want to be celebrities usually go into politics.
