    • Trivia
      Daniel Benzali was allegedly fired from the show for being late by an hour every day of production. When Steven Bochco asked him about it Benzali said he was consistently late because "[he] had to wait until [he] had his morning dump" before coming to set.
    • Quotes

      Neil Avedon: What are the chances the judge will keep Dr. Lester's records sealed?

      Theodore Hoffman: Zero. But I think she's wrong. And if I'm right about him, Lester's records are filled with references to your violent nature.

      Chris Docknovich: Including a back-dated memo describing how you confessed to murdering Jessica.

      Neil Avedon: This is my shrink we're talking about?

      Theodore Hoffman: We're talking about a thoroughly corrupt bastard who's selling you down the river.

    Great story, compelling acting
    Very rarely on television is there ever portrayed a realistic portrait that is both believable, and as another viewer remarked, keeps you on the edge of your chair.

    Daniel Benzali performed superbly as the attorney in private practice who is constantly drawn to the edges of ethicality, personally and professionally.

    Stanley Tucci embodied the sinister aspects of the role he played superbly, while still remaining likable.

    As is characteristic of most Bochco productions, the supporting characters and actors that play them are most interesting and convincing.
