5. To be fair there is also the fact he is notorious for not paying his lawyers

but even that wouldn't be a barrier if his case were more likely to be won.

7. He's also notorious for....

not keeping his gigantic mouth shut throughout entire cases brought against him. He has a habit of self incrimination.

His mouth is constantly yapping without ever engaging his brain.

He's the absolute worst client any lawyer could possibly represent.

6. Politics Girl may not follow the news,

Trump hired one of the top criminal defense lawyers in the country for the Georgia case.

Drew Findling used to be president of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and uses the #billiondollarlawyer hashtag.

9. I'm sure he'll put his best foot forward

Trump and Findling are polar opposites. According to Findling’s social media presence, he is a pro-choice, anti-mass-incarceration advocate who gives speeches on defending battered woman syndrome cases. ​Findling and his new conservative client do have one thing in common: They’ve been regulars on Fox News. Findling has shared his legal analysis, having made regular appearances on Shepard Smith and Bill O’Reilly’s programs (neither of whom are still on the network).

Findling started off as a public defender. He’s a self-described “trial lawyer representing clients with charges ranging from minor offenses to multimillion dollar federal conspiracy cases.” Previously, Findling served as president of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and currently practices law out of his Atlanta-based boutique, Findling Law Firm.

Findling is a celebrity lawyer. Along with representing several music artists, including Faith Evans, Gucci Mane, Cardi B, Waka Flocka Flame, DaBaby, and Offset, Findling has provided his legal services to athletes Shaquille O’Neal and Dennis Rodman. And while #BillionDollarLawyer sounds like it was dubbed by a rapper, the moniker was created by Findling himself.

Findling called Trump “racist.” In one of his many Twitter beefs, Trump fixated on a LeBron James interview saying, it’s “not easy” to make the NBA superstar look smart. Findling responded to the remarks himself: “The racist architect of fraudulent Trump University criticizing Lebron, the founder of a free school for children. POTUS pathetic once again!”

11. Lawyers do the case, not the client.

I have represented all sorts of people that I would not have a beer with. Never stopped me from doing my best job for their case.

Of course none of this is the point. The OP claimed Trump was getting nobody lawyers. That is clearly not accurate.

12. I hope he least gets paid

8. Excellent questions

for our R W relatives, friends, coworkers, neighbors, at least those who'll listen.
Diehard MAGAts probably believe he has the best already.
