I didn't miss the point. I've heard it before. The poster missed all the points.

Typical scenario: Guy breaks law. Guy gets busted. Guy hires lawyer. Guy gets plea bargain. Guy is better off. Guy is still pissed at "the system" and can't figure out that he got a good deal after doing a bad thing. So . . .

Eventually, it happens again. And again. And again. Guy does time. Guy pays fines. Still doesn't get it. And so on . . . .

The lawyer knows how to negotiate a deal and try the case, if needed. That's why you pay him to help you. It does not indicate corruption in the system. And if the judge is a jerk, well, the lawyer has to deal with that, too.

The only problem evident in the original post is that the lawyer might (depending on New York rules) have used inappropriate or unethical marketing methods.

What is obvious from the original post is that Guy broke law, Guy got good help, Guy got good deal, Guy doesn't get it, Guy is pissed at "the system", and it likely will happen again.
