- Great idea from a comment to an earlier post:
My money is on Waffle Lawyer. (No link included because of that one scene at the end. This is a family blog, after all. Those of you who take it upon yourselves to see such material and are of the appropriate age are welcome to use Youtube to find it yourselves.)

Fictional characters are preferred. Good Youtube links are HIGHLY encouraged.

or
Denny Crane (as long as Alan Shore is 2d chair)
Hmm... my favorite fictional lawyer. Well that John Fish guy from Ally McBeal was amusing, in an irritating way :). The lawyer turned actor on Arrested Development is sort of pathetically funny.
There's no easy answer to this question. I think that Daredevil, the popular superhero played by Ben Affleck, would be my choice for representation in criminal matters. There's a lot to be said for a trial lawyer whose hearing is so good he can determine who in the courtroom is suppressing gas.
For civil matters, I would probably hire a team of lawyers. Maybe the discovery could be handled by Matlock, but his aw schucks bullshit chuckle probably wouldn't go over well with hardcore federal judges in multimillion dollar actions, so I'd go with Denny Crane from B-town Legal as first chair and the Rainmaker Grisham lawyer played by Matt Damon to sit second chair and handle some of the depos.
I'm going for the cartoon version of Johnny Cochran from South Park. Specifically, I would insist on the Chewbacca defense. How can you argue with Chewbacca? Is he not a wookie? Does that not make sense? If that does not make sense, how can I be guilty?
Johnny Cochran - South park version is a really outstanding choice.

This should help a lot.
the protagonist from "The Holding Company" by David Crump
Lionel Hutz of the Simpsons.
Al Pacino.
I'm sure he played a lawyer in something.
