    @RTX3090 SLI owner a good and professional lawyer don’t choose what they defend. Do doctor choose who they treat? If a gangster is injury from a fight, do they say no to treating them? They still do treat them right? So what is the different between doctor and lawyer

    @RTX3090 SLI owner he is a freaking criminal defense lawyer! He specializes in criminal defense, there has to be someone out there specializing in this area, and not necessary he himself. So is late Subhas Anandan. Lawyers are to defend their case base on their professionalism not base on their personal feeling and own personal judgment.

    ​ @RTX3090 SLI owner Please provide evidence that "all" the cases he represented are of "these nature". Could it be that he defends quite a few wrongly-accused, innocent or moral people, but the cases that you have heard of tend to be more controversial/sensational and therefore tend to make it to the news, therefore biasing your perception? Secondly, I view the moral imperative behind his work as helping to ensure that all citizens, including criminals, get a right to fair legal representation. Therefore, I can't agree with your characterization of such work as "preventing somebody from facing the full extent of the law, their deserved punishment, by finding loopholes and whatnot, irregardless of morality. "

    He said how he got his money and his life together more detailed as a testimony that is available on KZread, he is a Christian. Long story short is that he started from law diploma which the money was borrowed from an aunt who was a retired teacher and the remaining of his studies overseas was from a bank who let him borrow it

    In this video clip presents by KZread shows an interesting story that a gentleman called Joe Tan. Joe is a lawyer by profession. He speaks fluent English. He has good personality and smart looking. Believe it or not he cannot get a job to generate income to fed him dairy. He did say which country he is in, therefore I cannot determine the economy of that country. He humbly said he has eat rats to survive. Do you believe it? I don’t.
