27 TV lawyers we would hire in a heartbeat (continued)
19. Diane Lockhart (The Good Wife, The Good Fight)
Diane Lockhart doesn’t play around, and she never stops fighting. She’s strong and inspiring, even when she’s faced with the impossible. And the good news is that she’s now the star of The Good Wife spinoff, The Good Fight.
20. Mitchell Pritchett (Modern Family)

21. Caroline Julian (Bones)
One of the most underrated characters on Bones, Caroline Julian (Patricia Belcher) fights for justice when it counts the most, and she isn’t afraid to say what’s on her mind.

22. Sandy Cohen (The O.C.)
The O.C.’s Sandy Cohen (Peter Gallagher) is an all-around good guy who cares deeply about his clients, and he isn’t afraid to go above and beyond to do what’s right — even when that means literally bringing a young client home.
23. Alexandra Cabot (Law & Order: SVU)
Alexandra Cabot (Stephanie March) follows a strict code of ethics that often means making tough decisions, but she’s incredibly well-respected and good at her job.
24. Peter Stone (Chicago Justice)

Hmmm, in 1981 I would have hired Joyce Davenport (Veronica Hamel) of “Hill Street Blues.” For grins, tweet to NBC’s Law & Order SVU and ask that they include a cameo of “Judge Davenport” in SVU before the show ends. She deserves it! In the mid-80s, I would have hired L.A. Law’s Grace Van Owen (Susan Dey) and Ann Kelsey (Jill Eikenberry).
Alex Cabot, baby!
How old was Annalisse when she was raped by uncle Clyde?
