The Good Lawyer

The time is 1982. The place is the South Bronx.

Working as a Bronx Legal Aid attorney, Nick Mannino becomes an unbeatable defense lawyer—there is not a single conviction on his record.

When a rape victim commits suicide after a trial he won but should have lost, he is devastated. Searching for absolution, he takes the headline case of a defendant he is convinced is innocent.

Then one of the complaining witnesses turns up dead, and Nick comes face to face with his greatest conflict: to truly win, must he sacrifice every principle he believes in and embrace his family's mafia past?

Inspired by a true story.

A young lawyer is eager to prove he is better than the father who abandoned him and worthy of the mother who raised him beyond the siren call of the mobster-dominated family he grew up in.
