An Innocent Client Novels & Stories

I pressed my hands flat on the table to keep them still. David stood when Finch sat down. "Your Honor, my client has no prior criminal record of any kind. She has deep ties to this community, a company she founded and has led for seven years, a legal team fully cooperative with the court, and no credible reason to flee. The prosecution's characterization of her behavior is not supported by the full evidence, evidence which has been selectively presented and in some cases obtained through deeply questionable means." He paused. "We request bail. My client will surrender her passport and comply with any conditions the court sets."

he demanded. I stared at the attorney, my mind a blank slate. I couldn't reply because I was just as confused as the detective. I had never seen this man in my life, and my phone was still at the club. There was no possible way I could have hired legal counsel. Niko didn't give me a choice to speak. He looked directly at Valerio. "My client is entirely innocent of the charges you are attempting to manufacture."

I squinted my eyes at him, “You know who she is, don’t you?” “And you know. I don’t talk about my clients” he got closer and whispered, “You would have to kill me for that secret. That is why I make a lot of money for it” “Bo, I saved you. You would be in prison right now if I did not give you that alibi” “I was innocent for that case of you helping me” he moved to sit back on his chair, “And I thank you for that favour. But I can’t pay you back with this secret, my friend. You know my rules”

she stood back a foot, her gaze raking the length of my body, “I can see you “Your Lord, my client is innocent because of this and that’ mode written all over you. You got this.” A peal of laughter left my throat. I didn’t blame her, she didn’t know just what branch of law I specialized in, no matter how many times I have told her. To her, being a lawyer meant taking a stand and defending criminals. In her mind, I was this kind of hero who would bring justice to the wrongs, and I couldn’t sully that holy picture of me in her. It was just too precious.

“Calla's been named in the investigation. She’s now a person of interest in the courthouse attack.” The words struck me like a series of sharp blows. "Person of interest." They believed I had a role in what happened. They thought I had helped plan the attack that left several people injured and caused chaos at a federal building. “That can't be true,” I murmured. Jake looked at me with a kind expression, but he was firm. “You were the only civilian who walked away unhurt. Your client escaped just when you were in danger. To the prosecutors, it seems like you were involved.

"I will be hanging on a rope soon enough straight to hell." "Trust me, i will get you out of here." I laid my hand on top of his. "No physical contact with inmates." The guard shouted and I jumped in my seat clearly caught off guard. "I feel like an animal." He sighed rubbing his grey and black hair. Mr. Collins was a well know business man in Los Angeles that was until he committed this gruel some crime. He is my client and I will do whatever just can to get him out if this mess.

“I trust you, but I don’t trust him” “I understand you,” I took his hand. “I do. You care about me. But this shouldn’t come between my duties now, should it?” “This is not your duty,” “This is a part of my duties. Keeping a good relationship with my clients. And for that, I need you to trust me, alright?” He sighed once again and then nodded. “Alright, but only this time. There is just no second time you will go out with some boy other than me” “Okay! I will ask you next time” I winked at him and he smiled. “I hope you don’t even need to ask the next time. I mean, I hope no one asks you out the next time, alright?”

“Give us their identity and walk away with your life or we get their identity anyway but you will be too dead to care.” He gulped but I could still see the defiance in his eyes. “I am bound and protected by the law of attorney client confidentiality so therefore, I am afraid that I cannot divulge the identity of my clients. I would be a terrible lawyer if I did.” he rambled on. Sia stood up and trailed her hands up and down my chest. “Its okay, Kieran, we have no need to get our hands dirty,” she whispered huskily and turned her gaze to Aurora. “We have the perfect tool for that.”

"Do not even think that I will give up the case if you give me an unsatisfactory answer. I have a great experience in making excuses for every action of my clients.” I had invented so much shit over those three years to defend my famous clients, that I was even impressed with my ability to dig deep to have any benefit. Pablo just watched me in front of those firm words. "And do you think I'm innocent? "He asked. "I'm almost sure of that," I replied sincerely. Pablo shook his head. "I wonder if you've spent so much time in prison that you've even forgotten the truth?”

“Case dismissed” My client, a shivering woman in her forties who had been accused of theft at the company she worked for, sobbed uncontrollably. “Thank you, Mr. Knight. Thank you so much." “You are innocent, Ms Chen." I smiled. I shook her hand, professional and distant, as her gratefulness drenched me in warm overwhelming waves. As the room emptied, Judge Lark came forward. “Good work, Knight. "You've been incredibly thorough in recent times."
