Giuseppe MorettiPosition: Managing Partner
Story: At one point in his life, Giuseppe never thought marriage was for him. Work and status was everything, his law firm being his prized baby. But that was until he met Carrie. Life with her changed his view of everything and he'd happily say to anyone that his days with her were the best of his life. And upon the birth of their daughter he couldn't have been happier... Until the worst happened. When she died, things changed, including his marriage. Divorce came quick to follow when neither could make it work and now Giuseppe is fast approaching the day of his fourth wedding - always trying to find what he had with Carrie. But with her returning to work, will he ever make it to that day? Twitter UN: Available Face Claim: Robert De Niro |
Carrie ClaytonPosition: Partner - Health Care Specialist
Story: Upon the death of her daughter with Giuseppe, Carrie was inconsolable. And feeling like she'd already lost everything, she let everything she did have slip away - Giuseppe included. Work certainly no long mattered to her. Whilst maintaining her share in the firm, Carrie headed back to her home in Nebraska and when she was finally able to bring herself to, worked part time as legal aid worker for the local town. It took six years, a patient family and a rough break up for Carrie to see what she was doing was wasting her life - her life which belonged in New York. It was time she returned and took back the life that was hers. Twitter UN: @INeedACounselor Face Claim: Leslie Mann |
Christian O'SheaPosition: Partner - Criminal and Internstional Law Specialist
Story: Having grown up in small town South Carolina, Christian met Monica when they were both law undergrads. Having both envisioned more for themselves on the eve of graduation both made good on their vow to one day just get in the car and drive across the borders for a fresh start. But not even months into his new life Christian grew restless and wanted to keep moving; past the states and cross continents. Soon he found himself studying law in France, Korea and several other countries - becoming an expert in criminal law internationally and foreign affairs. But after several short term marriages and a near deadly case of Malaria Christian longed for somewhere to call home; his decades of experience gaining him a secure job at Moretti lawyers. The future looked bright for Christian when his charm and verbal arguments quick won him a reputation. But he knows a job isn't all that makes a life.

Monica YatesPosition: Partner - Business Law Specialist
Story: Well known for her abrupt ways and winning streaks, Monica was pleased with her life; more so when she gained her very own paralegal, Nadine, who was like the daughter she never had. But things couldn't stay quiet for long. As if it wasn't enough that someone she once cared for wandered back in her life things really took a turn when her father died. Not particularly upset since she was overly fond or close to the man but when his latest widow is coming to her for help on several accounts of murder for several dead husbands she's awestruck and oddly intrigued at the same time. Curious as to whether the widow really was a black widow she agreed to talk. Admittedly disappointed it wasn't true she knew she had her work cut out with this woman.

Grace HarveyPosition: Senior Associate - Family Law Specialist
Story: When she was younger, Grace watched as her mother wiped her father clean of every penny he owned and left them both. He worked day and night, every shift he could get, to ensure Grace didn't end up I'm the system. As soon as she became of age she did the same. Putting money towards the house and saving the rest for college. Decades later she is faced with something she never imagined; her mother at her desk asking for help with her divorce because her husband did the same to her. But now she doesn't know what to do. But that's not the only question she's got up ahead. When her fiancé proposes will she find out just how deep her mommy issues lie? Twitter UN: @TheLawOfGrace Face Claim: Kerry Washington |
Quinn AsherPosition: Senior Associate - First Amendment Law
Story: In fighting for human rights, Quinn has made several enemies in bad places. Something that comes naturally with the job of any lawyer and nothing that particularly bothers her. Threats are normal. But recently things have gotten extreme with a case she's working. The threats are death threats, her tires have been slashed, people have even been inside her home when she was working. For all she knows whilst she slept as well. Slowly life for Quinn gets harder and more dangerous every second she's on the case -- but her integrity won't allow her to stop. So she has three choices: first to drop the case. Let someone else deal with the problems or let the client face his death. Second, take the case to it's closing and enter witness protection. Third - death.

Dana ValentinePosition: Junior Associate
Story: The problem with Dana has always been that she has an addictive personality. Not to the expected things like drugs and alcohol, but she was addicted to shopping, caffeine and the Internet. These three things practically ruled her life - excusing her love of fashion to be inherited from her fashion designer mother and her caffeine addiction to be necessary for the job she was in. But the fact was the reason Dana always left work three hours or more late was because of her access to Facebook, eBay and her emails. Something she knew she couldn't ignore forever and that her coworkers would notice as well. So she sought help with a local anonymous group. Problem was they limited and monitored her private Internet activity so she found herself staying later still. And when a scratch card falls in her favour she can all but smell the new clothes. So now she's confronted with two questions; one, does she want to change? And two, what can go wrong? Twitter UN: @OutaControlDana Face Claim: Amy Adams |
Nadine BlairPosition: Para-Legal
Story: Driven but deprived in life, Nadine was overjoyed when she was granted the full scholarship that would pay her way through Columbia Law school and put her right on track for her dream life. But those dreams were short loved when the scholarship programme's resources ran dry and could no longer afford to keep paying her way. Now the brightest future Nadine seemed to have going with the funds she'd saved was life as a paralegal. Once qualified she sought a work at the firm where she'd done a second year placement and fortunately caught the eye of resident bitch Monica. Hope was sparked once more; Nadine hoped that maybe with the right reference from Monica and Guiseppe that it'd be enough to gain a scholarship once more, or at least find funding she needed to pass the bar.

Eliza KennedyPosition: Junior Associate
Story: Being a junior associate, one of the skills required is research. And after noticing several suspicious men and calls being sent through to Quinn, Eliza's interested is gained. But not in the way you'd expect. She's been waiting a long time for promotion to senior associate and with it looking like Quinn is soon to be disappearing she's doing everything possible to ensure that she gets her place. But what will her striving for a better pay role, better title and an actual office get her? Does she have what it takes to kick Quinn off her nerves if she does step down? Will she get the job if Quinn goes missing? Or will she realise that digging her nose around in these people will land her in just as serious trouble...

Jason Bennett
Position: Junior Associate
Story: With his young charm and undoubtable enthusiasm for the job, Jason was well liked by his new colleagues. Although his methods were a little different. Having grown up having only a brother who cared, one who payed his way through college and even helped get him his first job at the firm, Jason viewed life much different to his co-workers. Although true to the cause of helping defend the innocent he was a sucker for the underdog - willing to help defend the beaten down and underprivileged by any means necessary whether his client or not. A willing volunteer to help in any pro-bono case he looked like the perfect employee - but did they know the dirty background he came from or how dirty he was willing to get his own hands?
