->''"Founded in 1791 on ground deconsecrated by the blood of mass murderer Mathias Pavayne, Wolfram & Hart has put roots down in this glamorous city that grow deep, and branches that reach right into the heart of every major corporation, including [[Film/TheAdventuresOfBuckarooBanzaiAcrossThe8thDimension Yoyodyne]], [[Franchise/{{Alien}} Weyland Yutani]] and [[HistoricalInJoke News Corp]].''"
-->-- Wolfram & Hart promotional video, ''Series/{{Angel}}''

ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: lawyers that represent the occult and the bizarre creatures of the night. Caught taking a little [[OurVampiresAreDifferent crimson nip]]? We'll get you out before sunrise! [[VanHelsingHateCrimes Attacked]] by the local band of [[TorchesAndPitchforks angry villagers]]? We'll get restraining orders against them all! Want revenge against your MadScientist [[FrankensteinsMonster creator]]? We'll get you emancipated ''and'' sue him for child support! The government has [[Area51 confiscated your light interplanetary vehicle for not being flight-worthy]]? We can help you sue them for not properly declaring an official tow-zone or providing means to contact a repair crew!

Our rates are reasonable, our hours excellent. We accept credit card, check, or [[BreadEggsMilkSquick virgin sacrifice]]. Pro bono work is not a specialty of ours, but should we consider it, we most certainly [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial do not]] have [[DealWithTheDevil our own reasons]] beyond potential [[WorkOffTheDebt future, gainful employment]].

We frequently work closely with TheLawFirmOfPunPunAndWordplay to ensure [[LouisCypher our name is instantly recognizable]] to the savvy client. As a result, we don't often resort to [[AmbulanceChaser ambulance-chasing]]; hearses, morgues, and funeral parlors are more remunerative when it comes to our specific business model.

If we aren't exactly what you are looking for, we recommend you check out the AmoralAttorney or RulesLawyer, instead. Although [[EvilLawyerJoke a few on our retainer]] could easily count as those, too. See FantasticLegalWeirdness for examples where the lawyers aren't necessarily occult but the cases they have to deal with definitely are.

!!Examples:

[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
* The protagonists of ''Anime/WizardBarristers'', law firm Butterfly.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Comic Books]]
* ''ComicBook/SheHulk'': Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg & Holliway, the law firm that employs She-Hulk for a time during [[ComicBook/SheHulk2004 the Dan Slott run]], specialises in dealing with superhero-related and supernatural cases (although they represent aliens and underground civilizations, too). The later Charles Soule-written run has Jennifer operating as a solo practitioner, with many of her cases involving superpeople.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Comic Strips]]
* In one ''ComicStrip/{{Nodwick}}'' story, the heroes have to get past a pair of "infernal law clerks" to get to an evil wizard's palace, whom Artax calls "devils with the details". The two are foiled by Piffany after they fail to find anything immoral or unethical in her record worse than swatting a fly and become so shaken up by the "morally superior being" that she [[BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame fools them into signing a contract without reading it]], which gets rid of them.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Fan Works]]
* The ''Literature/HarryPotter'' fic [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8423230/14/Amber-and-Emerald "Amber and Emerald"]] has a goblin and witch law firm of [[GroinAttack Gripsack and Twist]], who are a surprisingly reputable if aptly vicious team.
* In the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' fics of Creator/AAPessimal, the unique law firm of Slant, Morecombe and Honeyplace is an occasional location. They are instrumental in devising the Lancre Protocol -- an attempt to legally regulate the privileges a vampire actually ''does'' have when invited into somebody else's home. After the [[Literature/CarpeJugulum regrettable business in Lancre]] where it was universally accepted a vampire went a little bit ''too'' far with the accepted age-old common law right and took over the entire kingdom once invited into the king's castle, Mr. Slant created a whole sub-regulatory framework clearly defining the terms and conditions inherent on inviting the vampire into your home, with strict binding clauses on both invitee and invited. As he pointed out, vampires enjoy being invited to social parties and dinners too, and the host should have a clear expectation that nobody's going to be bitten [[VoluntaryVampireVictim unless they clearly express a wish to be]]. (Clause 27 (iii) (c).) Quite clearly common law, being an untidy mass of unwritten verbal agreements, needed to be ratified within a legal framework. Thus, a vampire in Ankh-Morpork needs to sign a legal disclaimer before being invited into the premises. For instance, Sally von Humpeding has a "season ticket" for visiting Ramkin Manor. The thorny issue of a vampire policewoman [[MustBeInvited not being able to enter a house]] to make arrests or perform a search, should the householder refuse to grant her permission, is being examined separately by Mr. Slant as an urgent issue requiring much legal consideration.

[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
* Winesap and [=MacIntosh=], LouisCypher's lawyers from ''Film/AngelHeart''. The joke here being that those are names for two different kinds of apple, alluding to the Garden of Eden and the serpent's temptation.
* ''Film/TheDevilsAdvocate'' has lawyer Kevin Lomax join [[{{Satan}} Milton]], Chadwick and Waters. They are knee-deep in organised crime and are willing to murder those who betray or threaten to expose them, but seek to accomplish their amoral goals chiefly through litigation -- the point of the exercise being to demonstrate the world unsustainable through LoopholeAbuse.
-->'''Milton:''' Because the law, my boy, puts us into everything. It's the ultimate backstage pass. It's the new priesthood, baby. Did you know there are more students in law school than lawyers walking the Earth? We're coming out -- guns blazing! The two of you, all of us, acquittal after acquittal after acquittal, until the stench of it reaches so high and far into Heaven, it chokes the whole fucking lot of them!
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Literature]]
* While the heroes in the ''Literature/CraftSequence'' novels aren't always employed by law firms, the Craft is effectively treating as practicing law with the universe. The first novel, ''Three Parts Dead,'' is about a necromancer employed by a firm of sorcerers who is sent to help carve up and resurrect a city's patron god in what's effectively a divine form of bankruptcy restructuring.
* ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'': The law offices of Morecomb, Honeyplace, and Slant in Ankh-Morpork aren't necessarily 100% occult, but there's no denying they've been in the business longer than anyone else; Mr. Slant is a zombie (and a major player in city politics), and his partners are both vampires (and while Morecombe has appeared in ''Literature/MenAtArms'' serving as the Ramkin family lawyer, [[TheGhost Mr. Honeyplace has only ever been mentioned]]). They don't necessarily specialize in supernatural cases, but then, nor do the firms run by living human lawyers specialize in mundane cases; that's just the kind of world Discworld is. Mr. Slant is feared throughout the drawing rooms of the rich and powerful in Ankh-Morpork not because he's a zombie but because he's been practicing law for so long that he ''set'' most of the precedents cited in contemporary cases.
* Mann, Levinn and Lewis from ''Literature/{{Pact}}''. A firm composed of practitioners, almost all diabolists, who offered their top-notch services (and their identities) to demons in exchange for the cleansing of their karmic debt, just to avoid the consequences of a botched summoning and/or to avoid death-by-diabolist-hunters. [[AffablyEvil They're cheerfully upfront about wanting this fate for the protagonist,]] which is why they assist him so that he can live long enough to one day be backed into a corner and take the deal. This is an unusual case of this trope for two reasons:
** The firm [[spoiler:ends up being the BigBad and FinalBoss of the serial; the demons they work with are AlwaysChaoticEvil beings that seek a Class X-4 (destruction of the universe) if not Class Z (destruction of reality) level [[ApocalypseHow Apocalypse]], so when circumstances arise in which they can hasten this, they stop being dangerous peripheral characters and start fighting in earnest]].
** While they enjoy enormous power and clout within the supernatural community, as per usual for this trope, it's a rather horrible place to work; when [[spoiler:Ms. Lewis]] is blasted in the chest at point-blank range with a rifle (taking the full, gory damage an ordinary human would,) she recovers in minutes and says "My continued ''employment'' supercedes death" but also "it's been a few long months since I felt proper ''agony''."

[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* Wolfram & Hart from ''Series/{{Angel}}'' start off as just a particularly [[AmoralAttorney evil-aligned]] example of this trope, but are later revealed to be the front organisation for an extremely powerful trio of extra-dimensional demons, the titular Wolf, Ram, and Hart. They claim the "senior partners" draw power from pretty much all human evils (so they are invested in making sure the world provides plenty of opportunities and pressures for people to do evil things) and are the main force behind the final apocalypse [[TheWorldIsAlwaysDoomed in a setting where there are dozens of them queued up]].
* Cole from ''Series/Charmed1998'' originally poses as an Assistant District Attorney while plotting to kill the sisters and, after that collapsed, is employed by various law firms over the course of the series. [[EvilLawyerJoke A lawyer and a demon? The jokes write themselves.]]
* Daniel Webster from ''Series/ChillingAdventuresOfSabrina'' is a lawyer who specializes in witch law after a DealWithTheDevil backfired and got his daughter killed.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Professional Wrestling]]
* Inverted with Wrestling/LloydCthulowitz, since he's an occult character who is [[WrestlingDoesntPay a lawyer]], but, as seen in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzP6-QkJJvA this promo]], his firm deals with more mundane problems.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
* The Dark Skies Corporation from ''TabletopGame/BleakWorld'' is this as well as being a MegaCorp and NGOSuperpower. They harvest the souls of their clients for some unknown purpose and are led by a group of [[AmoralAttorney evil lawyers]] who sold their souls for immortality and all the legal knowledge there is.
* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'': The Devils maintain a court system for both internal affairs and mortals disputing their [[DealWithTheDevil diabolic pacts]]. [[FallenAngel Erinyes]] work here as lawyers, and while their organization isn't expanded upon, it's noted that their Lawful nature means that they will make sure their clients always get the best possible legal advice, no matter what.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Video Games]]
* The protagonist of ''[[VideoGame/ChoiceOfGames Choice of the Deathless]]'' is a lawyer-sorcerer fresh out of the bar exam and signs up with the Varkath, Nebuchadnezzar, & Stone firm, and goes through several story arcs where the protagonist uses legal acumen and [[FunctionalMagic the Craft]] to deal with intra- and inter-office politics, a pro bono job to get a demon out of a bad labor contract, litigating one of the few surviving deities, and sorting out a contract dispute between an energy corporation and a race of demons. The game shares a setting with the ''Literature/CraftSequence'' novels.
* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'': According to the supplemental materials, the Soldier somehow managed to become an AmoralAttorney. He even ended up advising the two recently deceased Mann Brothers about how they each needed to send the other to hell to pick up their inheritance. The implausibility of the Soldier passing his bar exams is {{lampshade|Hanging}}d and then {{Hand Wave}}d with a remarkably literal example of AWizardDidIt. It sure helped him [[MonsterRoommate having Merasmus as a roommate]] for a time.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Webcomics]]
* ''Webcomic/ExterminatusNow'' reveals that the Patterner (the setting's version of [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Tzeentch]]) actually [[ExpyCoexistence lost a lawsuit to Tzeentch]] as regards being the god of change, with Tzeentch's lawyer being a [[DemonLordsAndArchdevils Lord of Change]] and the Patterner's... a hat with googly eyes.
* In the opening chapter of ''Webcomic/MonsterSoup'', the same lawyer represents all of the main cast, though he comes across as more of a public defender.
* Simon from ''Webcomic/SimonSues'' is an example of this trope.
* Wolff and Byrd, Counselors of the Macabre, ''Webcomic/SupernaturalLaw''.
-->''Beware the Creatures of the Night -- they have '''lawyers'''!''
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Web Original]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owhgeSUgq-Q Jun Ishikawa]], a character from the ''Nansei'' series (a set of musical albums and stories inspired by the ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' franchise, but lacking actual games, created by [=LENK64=] aka Miki Hiroyuki) is an [[GodOfEvil evil god]] who [[EvilLawyerJoke is also apparently an attorney]].
* The law firm Mack goes to in ''Literature/TalesOfMU''. Technically all law firms, given the HighFantasy setting, but this one is played as more willing than most to represent non-humans -- they've apparently worked for greater Dragons in the past.
