Lawyers of Reddit reveal the cases they regret winning

If there's one thing TV and films have taught us about lawyers, it's that they're all - except Jerry and Dean - evil, heartless bastards with no morals.

But an AskReddit thread entitled "Lawyers of Reddit, what cases are you sorry you won?" has revealed a softer underbelly to legal professionals, as hundreds flocked to share their stories and regrets.

Be warned: some of the stories are quite upsetting, but they're an interesting, if dark, insight into how the world's legal systems work.
