As a practicing defense attorney I can say I have never done that. But I could envision a scenario where a high profile client paying lots of money is disgruntled because his team isn't “trying hard enough” or whatever other crap they say and the attorney is only doing it to avoid a grievance from the client. I have had clients that expected something out of me in court that I am not accustomed to, and when you are getting started it is hard to tell them to shut up and let me do my job.
Now I am perfectly happy to piss off my client if it is ultimately in his best interest. I won't put on a show that hurts the case just so my client will grin.
