No because Atticus is know for defending non whites and the whole of Maycomb knows it. As well as defending Tom against the Ewells (whom Maycomb dislike anyway) The town doesn't mind him defending Tom because the Ewells are known as liars and drunks. So no it doesn't effect his reputation when his reputaion in the first place was defending non whites.
