Those firms are like sharks - they have to be constantly looking for food and if they aren't growing, they're dying. If a firm starts letting clients like Mesa Verde walk, they're simply withering and dying.

Chuck was in a virtual coma to begin the series. Jimmy had to BEG Chuck to get involved and he wouldn't budge. Chuck didn't seem to care about the company when he was leeching paychecks from HHM. He suddenly cares when Jimmy is somehow involved. Maybe his intentions were good originally. But it has turned into an unhealthy obsession to the point where he will exact revenge on an innocent victim, Kim, including throwing her into doc review for Jimmy's misdeeds.
You yourself said that Gilligan creates a lot of gray in his characters. But won't acknowledge the grayness in Chuck. We already know Jimmy's broken. While Chuck is on a higher moral ground than Jimmy, he's broken too. He reminds me a lot of Hank, actually. Hank wasn't a bad guy. But his obsession drove him to lengths he shouldn't go.
