Can we not pretend that taking the Weinstein case wasn't about some high-minded, principled act? This is the same law firm that hired private investigators to spy on victims in an effort to build smear campaigns. They did it for money, not morality.
Yes, everyone deserves an attorney. That's why public defenders are a thing. If Harvey Weinstein weren't rich and famous, that's likely what he would have had for his defense.
There's a huge leap from "everyone deserves an attorney" to "everyone deserves a big, high-powered, (and I would argue unscrupulous) law firm"

Then we ought also infer that the junior associates trying to quit-with-severance in objection were doing it for money, not morality.
