Lmao, even the lawyer that was interested because it was a high paying job turned it down. Probably because his firm reminded him that Trump doesn't pay and with him being found guilty much less so.

Exactly. Trump can promise to pay giant stacks of cash, but it doesn't mean squat if he's going to refuse to actually pay his legal fees. At best, you'll have represented him for free (ot a greatly reduced rate). At worst, contact would Trump will have implicated you in a crime and you'll go to prison.

I wonder why lawyers are avoiding him?

I think more realistically the firm knows it's a losing case likely to draw a ton of attention, so they don't want their practice marred by it.
