"Not usually." Matt answered with honesty, but that didn't mean that it wouldn't come in handy at some point. Besides, she wasn't that difficult to understand- New York was a melting pot and on any given day it was possible to hear a dozen languages spoken at once. Though she wasn't from New York originally and her accent was unusual, it wasn't going to stop traffic.
Giving Foggy some time to look over her resume, Matt proceeded with the interview, "Well, let me tell you a little about us, then you can tell us about yourself and we'll go from there." He said, outlining a fairly simple plan to help put her at ease, though her heartbeat had started to slow and it seemed like her confidence was returning, which would make this go much easier for everyone involved.
"My partner and I started this law firm a few years ago. The cases that we take the most often are not the high profile ones that you'll hear about on TV or read in the papers. We work mostly with people that live in Hell's Kitchen-- excuse me, Clinton-- and take on quite a few pro bono cases per year." He thought about defining pro bono for her, since not many people were actually schooled in legalese, but let it sit instead. "Mr. Nelson's favorite color is blue, and I suppose that's a decent choice." Matt finished with a dry joke that had Foggy peeking up from over the resume to give Matt a look that he was proud to say he could not see and therefore chose to pretend he was oblivious to.
"Could you tell us a little about yourself, Miss D'ancanto? What brought you to New York?" It wasn't actually necessary for Matt to know why she'd come- but giving a jumping off point to talk about one's self usually helped in any type of interview. It could be difficult to get people to start talking, but once they did, you never knew what would come out.
