THE DEFENDERS is a drama about two colorful Las Vegas defense attorneys who go all-in when it comes to representing their clients. Nick and Pete are the local go-to guys with an eclectic client list who are still looking to hit their own jackpot. Leading the law firm of Morelli & Kaczmarek are Nick Morelli, an earnest, hard-charging attorney who represents his clients to the best of his ability, no matter how big or small the case; and his partner, Pete Kaczmarek, whose passion for the law is matched only by his love of fast cars, beautiful women and expensive clothes. Joining them in their growing law practice is new associate Lisa Tyler, an enthusiastic young attorney looking to put her exotic dancing days behind her; and their young assistant, Zoe Waters, a spunky and sweet ingénue who is eager to please her bosses. While Lady Luck shines on their legal careers, the partners have their hands full when it comes to their personal lives. With Pete busy cruising the Vegas Strip for his latest romantic conquest, Nick is focused on repairing a fractured marriage to his estranged wife and remaining present in the life of their young son. No matter the offense, Nick and Pete aim to prove that when the stakes are high, they're willing to bet the house on the clients they defend in Sin City.

Well nice tactic trying to get involuntary manslaughter  but than figuring if they take involuntary off the table it would lead to a not guilty verdict was bold move but it worked. I have never seen tactic on a legal show.

Another good episode with a great result for the mother but the other case was amusing because know matter how he tried to win the money that was left was the same but the power failure when watching the race was funny

Pete really took a risk when he told guy to tell truth but it backfired when he confess that he was intimidated by defence lawyer and it does look his casual relationship with DA is Over after she went after him .

The other lawyer taking the 9 year deal because of his work load was terrible but Pete was lucky to win this case and Nick giving Pete a bill for his time was funny

I liked the way Nick decked the guy after he threatened him and his family and the arsonist was lucky not to be convicted of first-degree murder
Author: codebreaker    Time: 10-21-2010 12:25     Subject: Reply 10#10 bala's post

It looks like Pete's client, Darian was in court for the wrong thing and the senator got it wrong when he thought his wife had killed his mistress but trying to take the blame was nice

The cops harassing Nick and one of the jurors should of known better but his actions allowed them to get a good deal and Pete attempting to kiss the opposition after their date was amusing

Nick explaining to Luke that he screwed up was nice and subjecting Pete to shell fish to prove a point was a bold move but it's a shame they lost the other case to another lawyer
