Martin Ehrengraf
Created by Lawrence Block

Even folks who hate lawyers should like Lawrence Block's short story series character MARTIN EHRENGRAF This precise, polite little man should confirm every single one of their worst fears about lawyers. See, Ehrengraf believes every single one of his clients is innocent, and so prepares a defence that definitely, defiantly proves it, using every trick, clean, dirty and filthy, in the book.

And if he can avoid even a trial, that's even better. As Martin says, "I don't much care for the whole idea of leaving a man's fate in the hands of twelve people, not one of them clever enough to get out of jury duty."
