"It takes 2 to tango." Meaning: I don't go there.
It is a fact that female clients fall in love with their male attorneys. He pays attention to them. He listens to them. But that doesn't mean he falls in love with them or tries to seduce them or engage in a sexual relationship with them.
KC may be drooling over JB when they meet to go over her case, but JB knows he is sitting across the table from a sociopath. She falls for anything in pants and has lost her child somewhere in KCLand. He has better taste, loves his wife and children and is just doing his dang job. So far, he is doing well by her.
As far as how KC got his name, let me say this. There is a thing called "runners". "Runners" are people who bring business to a certain lawyer in exchange for a little "taste" of the money when it comes in or an outright cash payment upfront. The practice of using a "runner" is prohibited by most State Bar Associations, if not all. Anyway, these guys hang around the jails at intake, where the arrestee is being booked and hand out cards. Most people who get arrested do not already know a criminal lawyer, they choose them by chance.
It is possible that a runner was there, handing out cards.
However, does he have a billboard on any highway? It could be as simple as she saw a billboard or a bus advertisement. A lot of people call the guy with the full page ad. in the telephone directory. They figure that if he can afford that ad, he is making money and you don't make money by losing cases.
It can just be a dice roll. I am not sure why it is important. Their fee agreement is priviledged. She has no money, he is screwed over, but continues the case because if he doesn't, she ends up with an over worked and under-financed indigent defender.
So he doesn't get paid. Welcome to the practice of law.
So you have any stats to the bolded statement? I have had plenty of attorneys and I have never fell in love with any of them. Wehn caught hugging Casey, his response was "I hug all my clients." Did he hug the guy who just got convictted (the case that he was late for the sentencing?) I seriously doubt he hugs ALL his clients.
Being told TWICE to NOT have physical contact with his client shows that he doesn't pay ANY attention to the rules or thinks they don't apply to him. Has the KC attitude washed off onto him? There's an excellent reason for nophysical contact between client and attorney. Attorneys have been known to smuggle in things for prisoners. It's not uncommon at all. Attorneys do not go through physical searches like visitors do and they are allowed in the same room with the client. Jose has already smuggled out letters from Casey to her family. So he is a willing accomplice to her. He has been seen holding hands with her (and in an intrimate fashion) and she has been seen enuggling his necik. People have eyes and they can see the obvious. And eyebrows have been raised.
