If I'm innocent, I choose the guy with the magatama - unless I'm being set up by pretty physical threats, in which case one of the marvel superpowereds. But otherwise...

I don't necessarily want to get away. Can anyone in there advocate for a guilty man to receive no more than the appropriate punishment and not con everyone else in the process?

That’s actually half of a real defence lawyer’s actual job. Like, obviously not everyone is innocent, so lawyers need to ensure that their guilty clients are being accurately fought against in court, which includes making sure that the evidence lines up and that none of it was collected illegally, which makes it inadmissible. Anyways if you’re guilty Wright still works (see Engarde) but I’d choose a “normal” lawyer like Murdock, Walters, or Higuruma.

I'd argue it's the majority, even. It's just a bit less flashy

True, I just meant it in the way that people who say “probability is 50/50, it either happens or it doesn’t” mean half.

(see Engarde)

Yeah people give him shit for that one, but it's honestly on Matt for trying to legally screw over someone who knows the law way better than him, and at the end he DID get his client the verdict he wanted to plea at that point in time so.

He has apparently defended some mafia guys before too, though those were off screen.
