Frank Galvin

Yes.

Let's start with Frank Galvin in The Verdict.

For those who only know the legendary Paul Newman film adaptation, the novel is an incredibly bleak, visceral look at the bottom rung of the legal ladder.

Frank is the definition of a washed-up ambulance chaser.

The central theme here is encapsulated by the quote Hospira concludes, "Sometimes justice needs a second chance."

I love that line.

The reason Frank Galvin resonates so powerfully with audiences isn't because he is a legal genius.

It's because he is profoundly broken.
