So, it looks like I'm in the market for a good defense lawyer.

'Sad it's almost comforting, in its familiarity.

Any suggestions? I'll double your retainer, if you're willing to be discrete.

	Hi, uh, I happen to do some freelance defense attorney work, formerly of Denny Crane's office and after the new year I'll be working with Dethklok Inc. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Are you licensed in New York... and New Jersey? There's a bit of a misunderstanding going on with a business transaction of mine, I just... need to get things cleared up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I was out of Boston, but if nobody else shows up on the radar I can make a few recommendations, might even be able to get a temporary license if needs be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That would be great, if you could. Thanks, Miss-? I'm Pietro, by the way. Brwna. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Turner, Henriette Turner, though I think it still says Stillman on my license. I go by both. So, which would you prefer Mr. Brwna? Some recommendations or my own sweet self? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I trust your judgment, Mrs. Turner. And depending on the judge, it may not be much of a fight. But I don't quite have the... gall to go try and represent myself, as some of my colleagues do. And please, call me Pietro, or Peter. Everyone does. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alright then Peter, lay it on me, what's the situation? (and trust me, representing yourself? Generally a bad idea unless you're actually a lawyer.) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Long story short: when I fell off of my universe into this one, I somehow managed to land myself in the New York mafia. Consigliere, as a matter of fact.

Which means I don't have to explain the privacy filter.

I have... experience, however limited, with the lower levels of mob life. But all of this bureaucratic shit goes right over my head, and I'm getting a bit of racketeering pinned on me for... reasons you can't know. What's important is, at least as far as these specific charges are concerned, I'm innocent.

If you can help me, great. If you don't want to, I understand. But for obvious reasons, I don't really want to go with a Family lawyer. I just got out of prison, and I'm not really looking forward to going back.

Ouch, yeah, that's kind of a mess. Not one I can handle myself, well, scratch that, I probably could, but you don't want probably, you want certainty.

So, you want to talk to either Daniel Harris out of Jersey or Shani Lymon out of New York, just let whoever you contact know that Denny Crane's intern sent you.

Also, and this might sound crazy, depending on if you know the name or not, Remy LeBeau out of London, he's got law licenses in most major cities the last I checked.

	Thank you for your honesty. I'll Remy LeBeau, as in-? Okay, you know what, my last boss was in love with Superman. I need to stop having that reaction. I'll ask one of the three. And send you a check for the counsel- no arguments. I promise it won't even be the money the bastards are accusing me of stealing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's the one. He's, uh, also my grandfather. Well, the one here isn't, but he's basically the same guy. And you could send me a check, or you could use the money to buy some coats and blankets to donate to the homeless, since that's probably what I'll do with it anyway.

	Oh. Interesting. 'Can't say I really get it, but. I was one of the 'normal' ones, I guess- scary a thought as that is. And I guess I'll just do that. No sense in making you do the legwork yourself. Thank you again, Ma'am. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No such thing as normal around here. You're welcome, and good luck. (Reply to this) (Parent)
