That means they have a lot of clout, because when they go to court they don't loose no matter who their client is. Johnnie Cochran was one. If OJ had any normal attorney he would have been in the electric chair 3 years ago.

The best kind -- an expensive one without scruples, because that type will do anything to win, and usually do.
Johnnie Cochran was a high-powered attorney.

It's one who knows all the judges and will win every case because they have so much money they pay the judges off. That was obvious after the O.J. case. Money talks.
