There are some people I just would not represent -- and yes those would be the scumbags. I don't judge someone by their content [the consenting adults only requirement aside] but I do choose who I will work for based on their character. This is completely arbitrary and capricious on my part and entirely my right. If a company is consistently abusive to its models I would decline representation. If a company wanted to set up an arrangement to evade taxation or other laws I would most certainly decline. I like to get a feel for what kind of person is standing in front of me [and yes, I do prefer to meet all my clients before doing any serious work for them].

There are a number of lawyers that make my skin crawl they are so creepy. They will take on anyone for any reason. I don't work with those guys.

There are scumbag clients. They deserve scumbag lawyers.
