Attorneys are counselors as well as lawyers. What makes for an effective counselor? Shakespeare tells us in "Hamlet" by portraying the interactions between Hamlet (a guy with a lot of troubles) and Horatio (his confidante).
Recall the narrative: King Hamlet of Denmark dies at his brother's hand. The murderer assumes the throne and marries Hamlet's mother. The king's ghost appears to his son, demanding justice. Hamlet and Horatio set out from there, winding up with a hefty body count, but leaving the audience with timeless lessons.
