Fictional Lawyers You DON’T Want on Your Case ‘I Just Play One on TV’ Hollywood loves lawyers. At least, it loves stories about lawyers. We all know movies and TV Gomez Addams (“The Addams Family”)
could have pointed out that Cole’s prenup wasn’t void, but “voidable.” The difference? A voidable contract can be valid if the minor becomes an adult and lets a “reasonable amount of time” pass without attempting to void the contract. After 15 years of marriage, Cole basically ratified the once voidable prenup. This is a severe oversight for a lawyer like Reede to make.
shows get a lot of things wrong, but you may be surprised to realize that even the fictional lawyers who seem to win every case are actually terrible at their jobs! Let’s look at a few of the best worst lawyers you could hire.
Shockingly, blowing up model trains isn’t Gomez Addams’ day job after all. The father of TV’s weirdest family takes great pride in how many criminals he puts away — as their defense attorney. In one episode, he tells a judge that telling the whole truth would cramp his client’s style. After being thrown off a different case, he brings his wife, Morticia, in to represent the client and whispers instructions into her ear. No wonder Addams was voted “Least Likely to Pass the Bar.” In the movie “Liar Liar,” attorney Fletcher Reede manages to win a messy divorce case by revealing that his client, Samantha Cole, was only 17 when she got married. Since minors can’t enter legal contracts, Reede argues the prenup that Cole signed was void. Reede treats this like a slam dunk, but in reality, the opposing lawyer Fletcher Reede (“Liar Liar”)
Matt Murdock (“Daredevil”)
Fortunately, most real-life lawyers are far more skilled in their craft. Sure, they might not be superheroes or TV stars, but you can count on them to behave with dignity and give your case the respect and attention it deserves.
When Matt Murdock isn’t running around as the vigilante Daredevil, he’s a big-hearted attorney, willing to work for pies to help those in need. But the low fees don’t make up for how terrible he is in the courtroom. On the Netflix series “Daredevil,” Murdock is tasked to defend Frank Castle, the gun-toting Punisher. Murdock shows up late and unprepared, and his biased questioning ultimately leads Castle to sabotage his own case. Plus, thanks to his reckless behavior, Murdock failed in his duty to his legal partner, Foggy Nelson.
