The thing that shocked me most about the Aileen Wornous story was the quality of her initial legal representation. Here are a few guidelines that I put together after watching the movie for those seeking legal representation:

First and foremost, if your lawyer refers to himself as "Doctor Legal" or "Steve", avoid him.

Does he live in a teepee? Whereas teepee living is a proud native American tradition, your legal representative should really have a home, or at least an apartment. Also avoid lawyers who reside in igloos, wigwams, topeks, or hogans.

Has your lawyer ever made you listen to tapes of him covering Pink Floyd songs? Your lawyer should be spending his time researching your impending case, not wanking around on a statocaster and pretending to be Roger Waters. Your marijuana dealer should be acting this way, NOT your lawyer.

Your lawyer should NEVER EVER EVER toke up a huge spliff before handing out legal advice. I'm not saying that smoking marijuana renders a person incapable of handing out legal advise, but your lawyer should be torching one in the privacy of his teepee, not in front of you.
