Representative Betty Bates, Lady-at-Law
The Crusading Lawyer is sympathetic to your problems and will help you, though they may need some prodding or screentime before taking your case. Whether suing a “MegaCorp” because they poisoned the water supply or defending a client’s innocence in a murder trial, that’s the lawyer you want. Money will be a decidedly secondary worry for this type, and if you can’t afford a crusader’s services, there is always pro bono work* In some cases, a Crusading Lawyer becomes a prosecutor who takes on the most hopeless cases so that justice can be served and will never forget that they serve the people, the law, and the victim. Defense attorney examples are also common… ~ Crusading Lawyer – TV Tropes
