I find it hard to follow your logic TBH. Your logic/argument are predicated on one thing: that all lawyers respond to their "legal and professional responsibility to act in your interest regardless of who pays the bills" the same way. I'm sorry but I can't buy into that. What if I said, "A doctor has a legal and professional responsibility to act in your interest regardless of who pays the bills" - would you agree with that? I wouldn't. Many times a doctor will say, "This is what I wish we could do but your insurance won't pay for that, so we'll do this instead." Or worse, a doctor keeps a dirty office/gear because it's cheaper for him/her and then infects patients with hepatitis.[1] I could go on and name almost any profession and change the scenarios around to counter argue your logic - a contractor that makes a choice that requires future work from his company (a.k.a. job security), a police chief who decides that writing cheap/easy/unnecessary traffic tickets is the way to make the city council pay attention to how much work they are doing "for the city", an accountant who decides to steal from the company she is accountant for, etc. Just because someone has a "legal and professional responsibility" does not mean that a specific person will honor it.
