To specify a bit, I think this Stormy Daniels lawyer is quite a slimy figure, going for publicity stunts, loving the attention, skewing words, make half-announcements etc. etc. What a 'showboat'. Well, maybe it's the kind of lawyer one would expect a porn star to get.
But what about all the Trump lawyers? Wouldn't there be a highly respected big law firm one could hire? Instead, he has these guys he has, that aren't any better than the Stormy guy. Michael Cohen, John Dowd, Jay Sekulow. One Saul Goodman after another, or at least one very unhinged lawyer after another. The closest to something like I'd imagine an expensive US lawyer is Ty Cobb, and even he talked publicly in front of a reporter about the investigation, so there's a blunder.
Don't you have decent lawyers? Not even for your president?
What do you call a 100 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?
A good start
One of my uncles loves lawyer jokes like that one, because he is one. Seriously though, you never here from the quiet professionals (like him). Actually I have 5 lawyers in my family. 3 uncles and 2 cousins and one of those cousins is also a small town municipal judge. However once one gets into politics one is in the public eye and therefore you will see more of a showman especially in high profile cases such as this.
