> I am bewildered that Preston Byrne has even bothered

Preston is not a legitimate lawyer and has never actually represented anyone. He only larps as an expert and spends an inordinate amount of time constantly trying to tell other lawyers how wrong they are, using his black-and-white god complex attitude.

He might be a political activist, but he is a real lawyer.
By my subjective opinion, "real lawyers" represent clients, and most of the time win. This guy just complains and acts like he knows everything, and is often wrong.

When I said legitimate that's what I was referring to, not simply "passed the bar".

So a lawyer who only picks cases they can win is more of a real lawyer than, say, a public defender?
