3 TV LAWYERS I’D WANT ON OUR TEAM
Practicing law is nothing like how it plays out on the silver screen or at home in front of the TV. The reality is significantly different than a perfectly staged scene from Hollywood. But while scripts may portray a slightly skewed view of how we work, some TV and movie lawyers do possess traits and talents a real attorney can respect. Here are three fictional lawyers I’d want on our team. Perry Mason When it comes to a lawyer’s passionate idealism and a never-say-die attitude, there’s no one more recognizable than Perry Mason. The financial status or dire need of a client won’t deter Mason from striving to achieve justice. When push comes to shove, a lawyer needs to have a strong ethical backbone to represent their clients’ best interests. Both Mason’s tenacious grit and his knowledge of the law are unparalleled. Lt. Daniel Kaffee In some cases, the law requires you to fight, and that can get ugly. You’ll have your good name attacked and your judgment questioned. When that happens, it becomes clear to most that the law requires resolve and passion. “A Few Good Men” demonstrates this well because it displays Lt. Kaffee’s emotional journey. The highs, the lows, and the bitter arguments are representative of what can happen over the course of a trial. Sometimes it means having calm resolve. Other times, it means fighting back. Lt. Kaffee can do both. Harvey Specter When push comes to shove, a lawyer is paid to do one thing: win. Harvey Specter is a winner. It seems that no set of circumstances can hold this “Suits” attorney back from winning. His charisma and bravado make him a force to be reckoned with, and he often
relies on these characteristics to secure a victory. Sometimes a case hinges more on a person than it does the facts. When that’s the case, we want Harvey.
These three lawyers stand out because they have qualities our Team espouses. In the end, what we all have in common is the strong desire to achieve the best outcome for our clients.
