( Helena doesn't trust him, not as far as Caesar could throw him. She doesn't like lawyers as a general rule: they kept the Gotham families running just as effectively as any other part of the system. They did as much dirty work, maybe more, than the lowest street thugs. Sure, there were lawyers that were good at what they did and wanted to make a positive impact - Barbara immediately comes to mind, but Barbara is ruthless as well, has no regard for privacy, for secrets.
Saul Goodman might not try to get guilty people off the hook, might not be a wall of defence between all manner of scum and their justice, but he is unknown, he is one of them, and he has managed to very successfully piss Helena off.
And she's not sure about the reassurance that it wasn't a criticism of herself, but that's her own secret. )
