Subject: The new lawyer...part 1




Disclaimer: You all know the routine. I don't own....blah, blah,
blah.

This story takes place before Bobby and Lindsey are married, but
they are engaged. Jimmy is still seeing Judge Kittleson on and off.

The lawyers of Donnell, Young, Dole and Frutt were just finishing
a routine staff meeting. They began to pack up their papers. Bobby
looked at them sheepishly and said, "Hey, you guys. One more thing
before you leave. I have a small matter to discuss with you."
They all looked at him expectantly. He cleared his throat and
seemed nervous.
"Listen, we are doing really well now. We've been busy, money is
coming in... and I want to add another partner.
"What?!" Lindey gasped.
"Are you kidding?" asked Ellinor.
"Look, I happen to know for a fact that almost every firm in town
and the DA's office is trying to get her right now. She's the BEST!"
Jimmy spoke. He didn't like the idea either. "Well, who is it?"
"Well," Bobby seemed embarrased to say. "Its my sister, Marina....
But listen! Before you say no, just think about it. She's one of
the most sought after lawyers in the country right now. She's a
prodigy. She was able to finish her last 2 years of college while
simultaneoulsy starting law school, so she actually finished in 5
years instead of 8. She made her first million the second year she
was practicing. She'll bring in all her own clients AND ahe travels
a lot. She'll hardly ever be here, but we'll profit. Come on.
What do you say?"
"Well," said Elinor, considering it. "Can we at least interview her
first?
Bobby nodded. "Sure. You can all ask her questions if you like."
This seemed to settle it..at least temporarily. If they didn't
like her, they didn't have to hire her.... they thought. Jimmy
approached Bobby as everyone left the conference room. "I haven't
seen Marina in years! How is she?"
Bobby smiled. "She's doing great! I am so proud of her! Jimmy, it
would really be a coups if we could get her. We'd be lucky! I'd
want her here even if she wasn't my sister...she's that good."
"I can't wait to see her again." Jimmy replied.
