Is it wrong to be a lawyer of a politician? We shouldn't forget the position of a lawyer as far as the world is concerned. Even if we all know that you killed someone, a lawyer still needs to represent you. Won't you pay him for his services even if he knows you could lose the case?. So the law says everybody deserves a representation by law and it won't be the fault of any lawyer to tilt to any side of a case, they are just doing their job
