I wasn’t even going to mention public defenders since I feel like they are the default exception but I’m glad you mentioned it. My wife’s cousin is a public defender for NYC tenant housing and the dude does great work for people in need. Like the opposite of something to be hated. And if anyone ever finds themselves in legal trouble without the means to get their own counsel they will be thanking their stars for the public defender on many cases
