You likely won't find a good lawyer if the claim is completely unbelievable, but given the glut of lawyers (especially in the states), desperation and desire for a paycheque leads to bad decisions.

The fact that some people are occasionally foolish enough to try and represent themselves in such significant cases does not, in and of itself, constitute an argument that a lawyer could not be found.
Of course that's not the question I originally asked. I asked if a lawyer would take a case if they didn't believe it was legitimate and UB answered there's a lawyer for every case which is why I said there isn't always a lawyer. Unless he meant that a lawyer will take any case then I don't see the relevance in the answer.

Or maybe he's a lawyer I don't know. Kind of wanted to get the opinion of a lawyer. I think it's bad business to take on a case where you don't think you could win and a loss means no pay.

Which is why I tend to believe if the women had zero proof of harassment a lawyer wouldn't take the case. I believe she's being honest, the claims she's making shouldn't be hard to prove.
