Not really a great rep for a firm of hard-nosed litigators.[/quote]

lol 
This will sort out the wheat from the chaff though. People hire lawyers at these rates to take on tough cases and win. Not wimp out. [/quote]

People also hire lawyers who understand which way the political winds are blowing and do not take on matters/clients that could hurt their reputations.  I have worked in BIGLAW for many years and saw numerous potential matters declined even though there were no conflicts and the client would pay our rates without complaint (or at least no more complaint than any other client).  The firm did not want to be pulled into potentially controversial situations.[/quote]

Sounds like a lame BIGLAW firm then. You ruin your reputation as a lawyer by lying and being cowardly. If you can be bought off because you’re “afraid of the political winds” then you’ve become too soft. [/quote]

No, the firm thinks of what is in the FIRM's best interest - just like any other corporation.  Individual lawyers are free to take on any cases they wish, but if they are part of a partnership, then the partnership decides.[/quote]
