With emphasis on experienced - Levison was represented for a bit by a business attorney. He may have passed the bar, but he was completely inexperienced in federal criminal cases.

He was, but I think he only had representation after day 10 or something. The first few days you was way out of his element. I think his business attorney was experienced enough to get someone else on the case as well since it was a bit out of his domain.
