Ok so let me get this straight, you hire an attorney and you expect to  
lose your case because s/he lets his personal beliefs get in the way?  
I think not, My expectation would be that my attorney do the best job  
s/he can, within the law, to win my case. I would also hope that my  
attorney would be well versed in case law and precedent and would use  
all the tools available. Her/his opinion should have little or nothing  
to do with it. And to take how a case was pled in court and attribute  
those opinions to the attorney is just bad logic. I would also assume  
that while a lawyer might find pleading a case they agreed with  
easier, a good lawyer should be able to put aside personal opinions.  
Else they should not accept the case.

If you were an architect and knew that your client did not like  
Spanish Colonial, you would be a fool to include such details in any  
design you presented.
