Lawyers yesterday hit back at claims by Justice Minister Simon Power that defence lawyers are cashing in on the criminal justice system………….

A criminal defense lawyer is a lawyer specializing in the defense of individuals and companies charged with criminal conduct.(wikipedia)

Criminal defense work can be intimidating to some lawyers as the specter of a client going to jail for long periods of time over some defendants. Because of this and other factors, criminal defense lawyers tend to be a special breed of lawyers.
