That sounds like a terrible attorney. There are lots of ambulance chasing shills that should be disbarred, but there are also many excellent highly ethical attorneys.
The problem is that those attorneys are typically reserved for the rich, so most people don't interact with them, with the exception of some truly excellent public defenders and prosecutors.
With regard to your experience, I can't imagine an attorney not respecting the decorum of a court room like that. If I were the judge, I would have issued a warning and held her in contempt if it continued.
Further, if I found out that an attorney made a false allegation of a threat in my court room, I would report them for an ethics violation for lack of candor to the tribunal instantly. There is no room for that type of nonsense in a court of law.
I'm sorry about your experience. That attorney, who does not deserve the title, is both a poor lawyer and a terrible excuse for a human being.

In general, they are not reserved for anyone. They just get tired of clients that won't pay, usually, after they told the client "it will cost 30k to do what you want, and you will lose anyway" So they ask for larger and larger retainers, etc.
