- Apollo Justice, a rookie attorney, befriends a famous attorney who quit being one seven years earlier. Apollo solves four different cases as an attorney and also learns how and why that same attorney lost his badge.
- Greenhorn defense attorney Apollo Justice tackles his first case, defending the Phoenix Wright, legendary former lawyer turned pianist and poker player, following his disbarment from law seven years ago. He is accused of murder and gambling charges after a man was bludgeoned to death during one of his poker games. Things soon turn hectic, however, after suspicion in the murder falls onto Apollo's boss and mentor, Kristoph Gavin. Apollo must decide to forfeit his loyalty and trust in his mentor to side with uncovering the truth, and ultimately proves Kristoph guilty with the help of Phoenix, although his motive remains a complete mystery. After the trial, Apollo becomes disgusted when Phoenix reveals to him that a piece of evidence used to prove Kristoph guilty was forged evidence, and he punches Phoenix. Despite this, Phoenix offers Apollo a job at his office.
With his boss having been arrested, Apollo has little choice but to accept the offer, at the former Wright & Co. Law Offices, the "Wright Talent Agency", turning it into the "Wright Anything Agency" now that the agency is practicing law once again. Straight away, Apollo finds himself thrust into many tough cases, starting off with a shooting where the main suspect is a gangster in L.A's biggest gang family. During his cases, he faces off against Klavier Gavin, the younger brother of Kristoph Gavin, who's both a prosecutor and a rock-star.
As his cases unfold, Apollo begins to slowly learn the truth behind Phoenix's disbarment from seven years prior, in which the ex-attorney allegedly used forged evidence in a murder trial. At the same time, a change is coming from America's legal system: a particular high profile case demonstrates that murderers can easily get away with their crimes by a lack of evidence, even when their guilt seems like common sense. A new system called the "Jurist System", which uses common sense opinions of a jury, rather then a need for evidence, is created over time, and given a test-run, involving a seemingly straight forward murder of a shut-in artiest. Apollo has been assigned as the lawyer on the "test-run", but Little does Apollo know that hiding beneath this seemingly "straight-forward" test-run is a complex, dark thread that connects everything from seven years ago and the recent past together: and laying at the center of it all, is real truth behind Phoenix Wright's disbarment.
