Did they help regular people defend themselves while saving on legal costs or not? Most of these cases wouldn't be defended at all otherwise.

  This is exactly the right question. Did they provide value to the user? Yes, nearly any situation in life involving money can be improved with a top lawyer on retainer, but that isn't always viable or economical

  >Did they help regular people defend themselves while saving on legal costs or not? Do you get a free pass to do shitty things as long as you do some good things too? I am totally onboard with the concept of the business, just not this particular implementation of it.

    That's a little bit how the law works. If you get sentenced for a conviction, your good deeds will affect the decision. Sometimes people get off entirely based on who they are (e.g. athletes, execs, etc).

      >If you get sentenced for a conviction, your good deeds will affect the decision. Definitely a valid point, but I don't feel comfortable applying the same idea to inanimate entities like corporations. >Sometimes people get off entirely based on who they are (e.g. athletes, execs, etc). On a personal level, I have never agreed with this.

      In that one circumstance. You don't get to do a little murder because you donated to a charity. Why even bother to act like this is some sort of principle that underlines the legal system?
