Yes, Charles Dickens was very hard on lawyers, but he also had at least one lawyer hero (albeit a rather reluctant one, but definitely endearing rather than greedy or diabolical) and maybe more than one.
My favorite Dickens novel, “Our Mutual Friend,” has a nice-guy lawyer hero – 2 in fact – and as fabulous an array of characters as you’ll find in any Dickens’ writing.

Or, use “The Google” to search for Charles Dickens or visit your local library or bookstore for some time traveling in Dickens’ England.
Happy Birthday Mr. Dickens (2/7/1812)!
