A jewish lawyer isn't always bad but it can turn against you. More likely than not you'd be fine. A white lawyer if you can get one is better. But you are going to need to go full racist on something this serious. Try to avoid any Irish, Scottish, or Italians too. This is serious shit so you've got to go full racist. What you don't want is for someone to take a fee, do nothing for you, and sell you up river. A lawyer has every ability to do that. Germanics don't lie. All those other groups have people within them that will lie to make a buck, and you the client are the easiest person to lie to in this situation. If you have any friends who have had a positive experience with a specific lawyer that may be a good way to go.. but also getting a lawyer that specializes almost exclusively in your type of case would be good to. That kind is counting wins verse losses. The general trial lawyer is the one to look out for. Lists 50 million types of cases he's willing to take because he's going to do nothing in each and every one. You want someone who knows more than the prosecutor about that kind of case because it's 90% of what they do. Ideally they should know more than the judge in that area of law. A good lawyer is able to educate the judge about the law. A show up lawyer will argue against one or two facts and say "hey judge my guy isn't so bad, cut him some slack." Still, a guy that only does that is better than yourself. That argument semi-works even from the show up lawyer because the fact that you hired a lawyer shows you are taking this seriously and that's all the judge wants to see to grant sympathy.
