“Everyone's saying no”: Trump hires Florida insurance lawyer as top attorneys refuse to work for him
Former President Donald Trump and his team have spent days since the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago trying to assemble a "team of respected lawyers" but keep getting rejected, according to The Washington Post.
"Everyone is saying no," a prominent Republican lawyer told the outlet.
That's what happens when you have a record of not paying legal bills.
Don’t forget, asking lawyers to do illegal things!

I'm sure there are a lot of top flight lawyers who would be happy to take on a high profile case like this, knowing that they will probably get stiffed. But they won't take Trump as a client, because he's the client from hell.
He won't listen to legal advice. He openly asks lawyers to help him conceal criminal activity. He won't shut up. He conceals things from his own attorneys. He throws temper tantrums. And whenever he has a setback, he blames everyone around him and trashes them in the media.
Usually, a high profile client will boost a lawyer's profile, even if he loses. But everyone who has represented Trump in a high profile case has wound up doing grievous damage to their own careers.
