And why are you surprised? A lawyer is a mercenary. A hired gun. A tool.
I don't expect my lawyer to base their performance on whether they like me
or believe in me any more than I expect my drill press or my laptop to do
so.

You assume surprise. Trust me....there is none! I merely make the
distinction between a lawyer self portrayed as a "protector of the
people" which is the projected ethical intent and the lawyer as he/she
actually exists; a glorified and educated used car salesman par
excellence, selling services to the highest bidder and raping clients
and the public at large by their actions.
