Yes, he took on the case and yes he won. But everything else about him was arrogant, rude, know-it-all. He only suspicioned that there was more to the story after the Nephew dug up the body. The lawyer did even give Lucas a chance to talk at first. Then, at the very end, he was still an arrogant, rude, know-it-all. The was absolutely nothing to like in this character. This in itself is very unusual for a story line like this, and made me feel uneasy about the lawyers future in dealing with clients. As far as the rest of the cast, they were right for their parts and story line. Most did a pretty good job. But I also felt that I was watching a WWII propaganda film in respect with all the dialog concerning "people" and how they should act VS how they do act.
