* BunnyEarsLawyer: Double subverted. He has just as many quirks as the rest of the firm, and is an absolutely abysmal lawyer, to the point that you an hear judges' eyes rolling whenever he sets foot in a courtroom. However, his primary job isn't being a lawyer, but being the public face of the firm, and he excels at maintaining and expanding the firm's client base.
