Lawyer Man
6.5
“His Fame Was Built on Love Letters-Written by Other Men....”
Idealistic attorney Anton Adam makes headlines when he successfully prosecutes prominent New York City political party boss John Gilmurry. Adam's sudden renown attracts the attention of high-profile legal eagle Granville Bentley, who asks Adam to become a partner in his firm. But Adam's rising career nosedives when he's framed by corrupt Dr. Gresham and a sexy actress in a trumped-up breach of promise suit. The only constant in Adam's life is the loyalty and unrequited love of his secretary, Olga.
