“Do you need a lawyer? Call me, Lou Frischetti. Divorce, Accident, Criminal. Call me at 1-800-55-Legal”
Fast-talking Boston attorney Lou Frischetti (Michael Rispoli) represents the clients nobody else wants – from hookers to bookies.
He believes in justice for all and will use every trick in the book to defend his clients whether they are accused of petty theft or murder.
Lou has a night school degree from the East Podoc School of Law, is a tad unethical and always knows what is going on – in
the courtroom, the police precincts and on the streets.
He sometimes invents his own theories about the law and promises his clients that “if there’s trouble, I’ll be there on the double.”
These are the qualities that attract Jason DeWitt (Richard Kiley), a graduate of Harvard Law School and the senior partner in the prestigious Beacon Hill law firm of Osborne, Merritt and DeWitt. Jason feels Lou is the man they need to bring life to the firm and get it out of a rut.
Lou agrees, provided he can also hire his staff: his gorgeous investigator, Frankie Collett (Kelly Rutherford) and his receptionist – who is also his mother – Pearl Frischetti (Rhoda Gemignani).
Jason takes the heat for allowing Lou to use his street tactics to get results as the other partners feel Lou and his staff will bring the law firm down, not improve it.
