As long as the lawyer had a choice in whether to represent the client, they should have to face whatever consequences or criticism that comes their way. If no one WANTS to represent someone, then that person is still entitled to representation and can have a public defender assigned to them (who should NOT be subject to those same criticisms). Everyone has a right to representation, but being rich does not give you a right to expensive representation.
It can be a calculated risk, though, because if you're the lawyer that manages to get Weinstein off (pun intended), you'll probably secure enough future success that you won't care who fired you. Just look at the OJ team.
