CriticsCritics: 77
AudienceAudience: 7.4

A newly graduated, idealistic lawyer takes on a powerful insurance company accused of refusing a claim that could help a dying boy. With support from an unconventional, unlicensed paralegal, he enters a demanding courtroom fight while navigating other personal and professional challenges that test his principles and resolve.

My take

You’ll enjoy this grounded courtroom drama if you like underdog stories, moral dilemmas, and a touch of humor alongside serious legal conflict; Not for you if you want a fast-paced thriller or tightly focused plot.
