She was criticized by her fellow lawyers not because she was not hardworking, but because she so minutely prepared her cases that she failed to bring the expected number to trial
Does the bolded part mean that she is in reality hardworking or not hardworking?
Sorry if its basic question, I kinda get stuck when sentence has many negative words like above with multiple "not"

Good question.
Well, we have to focus here on what is important: She was criticized
OR put in a simple way: for what reason/s? why she had critics ?
If she was criticized NOT for X (working hard or less) but for Y
However, reading the sentence per see we do not have enough information or data to assess if she was a powerhouse or not BUT if I should say: she is a hard worker or not ?? I would say yes but, again, this is beyond the point
Hope this helps
