The attorney told his client that they had little chance of wining the case/the case was small chance to win/it was nearly impossible to win him the case/the case had a minimum chance to be won by him.

Which do you think?
it was nearly impossible to win him the case
Good try, but that option would be very inelegant with the ‘him’ in it. Without the pronoun it would be fine.
In this case you need the first option: they had little chance of winning the case.
The attorney told his client that they had little chance of wining the case.
I think “they” refers “his client” which is singular. Dose they agree?
‘They’ refers to the attorney and client (and any additional members of the attorney’s team).
Note the spelling of ‘does’. ‘Dose’ has a different pronunciation and meaning.
‘They’ in your sentence refers to the client and his lawyer(s).
