[tyhorssv] Legal defense for future Aaron Swartz

In learning lessons from Aaron Swartz, have any lawyers or law firms distinguished themselves as highly capable at operating in a politicized internet activism case?

For activism, the defendant may have several goals, not merely just to defend him or herself but also to expose something wrong with society perhaps through legal actions such as pre-trial Discovery, or to otherwise promote change.  He or she will need representation competent at advancing all of these goals and balancing their concerns.

An activist may wish to avoid a plea deal, for the good of society.
