"When the truth comes at a price"
Jack Sharpstein
The Courtroom Firebrand
Twenty-eight, tall, rangy, and clean-shaven, Jack combines a polished courtroom appearance with a far more combustible personality. Instinctive and outspoken, he specializes in employment and misconduct cases and inherited both his father's sharp tongue and his ability to perform under pressure.
Maddy Sharpstein
The Methodical Force
Twenty-nine, dark-haired, and intensely focused, Maddy carries herself with a quiet determination that mirrors her approach to the law. A Stanford-trained attorney leading the firm's environmental practice, she is methodical, relentless, and exceptionally skilled at turning complex science into a case people can understand.
Sam Sharpstein
The Relentless Advocate
Sixty, lean, and distinguished by silver hair, Sam Sharpstein has the unmistakable presence of a veteran trial lawyer. Sharp-witted, stubborn, and relentless in preparation, he has spent decades taking on powerful opponents and fighting for people who cannot fight alone.
Hannah Sharpstein
The Voice of Reason
Intelligent, perceptive, and grounded, Hannah is far more than the person waiting for Sam at home. She works in the technology world and often challenges his arguments from a more corporate perspective, becoming one of his most trusted sounding boards. The novel also indicates that Maddy inherited Hannah's dark hair and Jack inherited her tall, rangy build.
Jim Soldano
The Steady Hand
Fifty-six and invariably polished, Jim favors immaculate suits and keeps his reading glasses close at hand. Where Sam is driven by instinct and impossible causes, Jim brings structure, practicality, and financial discipline to their partnership, making him the stabilizing force behind the firm.
