Meaning?

Hi, would you please tell me what is the meaning of "whose reputation and gossip dwelled on" and "in the netherworld of the profession " in the following text:

Any lawyer whose reputation and gossip dwelled on her bad makeup and tight clothing as opposed to her legal skills was doomed to toil in the netherworld of the profession.

Thanks

This lawyer was famous for her bad makeup and tight clothing (not for her legal skills) So her fate was to work in the dark (seedy/dodgy) areas of the legal profession.
