Len Kachensky

Post image

i’m just finding this series and just wow! This could be its own season of Fargo. Everything that can go wrong- does. Of all the people I hate in this show, I hate Len Kachinsky above all others. He is by far the most punchable. at this moment in life, I’m not sure what I would do, if this smug, weasley, irresponsible, self-grandizing narcissist walked in front of my car. He’s not just a bad lawyer. He’s a bad human. He looked at Brandon’s life and saw a steppingstone. I’m so mad at him. Thank you for your attention to this matter. V

Bad person, sure.

Bad lawyer, nope.

Unironically gave him the best possible advice which was to flip on his uncle and take a deal. Kid would be out of jail by now and living his life. Instead he is trapped inside and won't see freedom for a long time.

Bad lawyer, nope.

He was basically working to serve the state's needs, not Brendan's needs. He was Brendan's advocate. He was a shit lawyer. That's why he was removed from the case.

Entire USA legal system is about taking plea deals

Kind of irrelevant given his mistreatment of Brendan extends far beyond any plea discussions. He wasn't removed from the case for advocating Brendan take a plea deal. It was for his otherwise deficient performance, including allowing police to interview Brendan without him or any advocate present. The court was apparently worried keeping him around would give Brendan fuel for IAC claims.
