These lawyers make bad look so good.

They are twisted, sharp, witty, and extremely strategic. And that’s what makes lawyers great at what they do. The ones that live and work by the books, are the “good ones”. But the ones who make good stories are the those who bend the rules to their and their client's benefits. Like Charles Lamb said, “He is no lawyer who cannot take two sides.” Not that it makes them “bad”, they are just crooked, wiggling their ways through the loopholes of law and still helping people and winning the day.

What we love about the character: The first name that comes to mind at the mention of a shady lawyer is Saul Goodman . Even when he was a small-time lawyer, working out of his matchbox office in the back of a nail salon, and trying somewhat to be decent, he was never a straight arrow. So, when circumstances made him become Saul Goodman, it wasn't a surprise. If as Jimmy he was clever, as Saul, he became a master of bending laws.

What we love about the character: She’s often described as “ruthless, master manipulator, and brilliant”, all wrapped in one personality. Meet Patricia “Patty” C. Hewes, a high-stakes litigator and partner at her own law firm, Hewes & Associates. The daughter of a judge with an abusive childhood, Patty has never shied from being unscrupulous and devotes her life to taking down those who misuse their power and position, even if it means she has to become one of them.

What we love about the character: Alan Shore is a lawyer and counsel at Crane, Poole, & Schmidt. He is brilliant with a strong moral code. However, he would not shy away from unethical means for an ethical end, like illicit liaisons, cyber hacking, blackmail, or bribery, which are just tools that Alan uses without hesitation. At the same time, he would relentlessly defend the underdog.

What we love about the character: Harvey Specter is the sharpest and most charismatic lawyer the city of New York has seen in a long time. But he has a reputation of being the “best closer in New York City” and is much-hated for “being right all the time”. A playful charmer, Harvey is persuasive and extremely determined, particularly when he is trying to convince someone or win a case. This also means that his professional qualities don’t translate to a satisfying social life.
