Does !Mark do criminal cases for poor oppressed people? Does Mark do cases primarily for the money or to fight evil? How does Mark choose who to represent? His daughter didn' t know he was a big deal until law school? Lol! How did she think he got the big mansion?

Criminals need to make better decisions, they dont usually need a good lawyer. That is the least of their problems.

@@thunderthumbz3293 What if they're criminals due to systemic cultural isses?

[@thunderthumbz3293]

@@1Whipperin No one forces a person to commit a crime, they make their own choice. If a person is coerced their is a legal defense for that and systemic problems are not a defense, they are an excuse. Lawyers are there for those rare cases regarding people who are wrongfully charged or overcharged.

@@thunderthumbz3293 You think you could grow up in the hood and not be a criminal? By your own strength or by the grace of God?

[@thunderthumbz3293]

@@1Whipperin Yes. There are examples of people who grew up in da hood and made something of their lives. They had choices like others but made the right ones. Everyone has a choice.
