There are a lot of things that are tough to perceive when you live here. When I moved back to the USA 4 years ago with my wife she was certainly overwhelmed by at least 4 or 5 of the things on that list. We still routinely have a game in the car where we count the amount of flags you see.
As to the OP, from my experience working in a courthouse and courtrooms, the "flashy" lawyers are kind of like religious nuts. They are a minority, and unfortunately can overshadow the rest.
Then again, if the lawyers showed on TV were actual representations of your average attorney, it would make for some pretty boring TV most of the time.
