Family Law
They're always on each other's case.
S01E08: Truthiness
Abigail is in over her head when she agrees to defend her friend Elaine, who turns out to be an anti-vaxxer. Elaine's ex-husband refuses to allow their daughter to fly to Germany without first being vaccinated. As Abigail finds a way to challenge this (perfectly reasonable) request, she wonders if her loyalty to a friend is putting Elaine's daughter at risk. Even worse, Daniel is no help on the case. He is still bitter that Harry rejected his partnership proposal and has completely checked out. Meanwhile, Nico gets suspended for forgery, forcing Abby and Frank to reconsider their parenting plan, and Lucy considers confessing to Maggie about her affair.
Overview
Lawyer and recovering alcoholic Abigail Bianchi is struggling to put her career and family back together after hitting rock bottom. As a condition of her probation, Abby is forced to work at her estranged father’s firm, Svensson and Associates, and practice in family law for the first time while forging new relationships with the half-brother and half-sister whom she’s never met. The result is a dysfunctional family law firm operating to help other families with their own dysfunctions.
