Chapter 873

"By the way, would you like to book Cochrane first? Don't let the strongest black defense lawyer be hired by MJ

If he had to follow the example of Simpson's dream lawyer group, Cochrane, who helped MJ, Simpson and Snoopy Dogg in the lawsuit, had to ask for it. The guy was recognized as having the only ability to get rid of the crime among black defense lawyers. "Is he very expensive now?" Sonya asked Goodman.

"Of course, even Simpson can be acquitted..."

Goodman replied: "but Cochrane won't work for MJ any more. He's always worried about MJ's sudden insistence on civil reconciliation with the dentist's father and son in the 1993 case. He thinks that's the stain of his winning career. The main reason is that MJ's personality is too changeable and weak, and he doesn't think he has a good partner."

"He won't say that publicly, will he?" Song Ya doubted the way.

Goodman leaned over, smiling and blinking. "Privately, he's in Chicago."

"Ha, does he think I'll be a good client?" Song Ya understood the meaning of Goodman's smile. "In his capacity, don't you have to be so active?"

"Why not? No matter how successful a lawyer is, he can't sit in the office and wait for clients to come to him. "

Goodman replied, "besides, he has his own private jet. It's very convenient to make a trip."

In the defense lawyer industry, even without considering the color of skin, Cochrane has reached the top. He has three major advantages. He was the Deputy Attorney General of Los Angeles, and later he also practiced and opened a law firm in Los Angeles. There are a lot of rich people who need defense lawyers. His contacts and other resources are top-notch.

In the choice of defense strategy, he is also a commander-in-chief with keen intuition and profound skills.

What's more, he is very good at manipulating the public opinion of the black community, which is well demonstrated in the MJ case and the Simpson case.

"Is it true that your law firm charged MJ tens of millions of dollars in a case in 1993?"

Soon, in the Highland Park mansion, song Ya met the top defense lawyer. Goodman only called on behalf of himself to ask for the price. Unexpectedly, the other party immediately came to meet him in person, "I just read the newspaper, and this year MJ was entangled by that annoying dentist. Will you still act for him?"

Cochrane was a big faced, bushy moustache, a bear heavy, slow talking, fifty year old black man. After greeting, Sonya did not mention his own trouble. "Please sit down, Mr. Cochrane."

"Sorry, it's not convenient for me to talk about this with other people..."

Cochrane sat down slowly. "But there's a good chance he won't be acting for MJ. This year, he's not in trouble. The dentist can't be a threat."

"Oh? Why? " Song Ya was very interested. "The dentist got more than 20 million civil settlement, isn't it more powerful?"

"Er The specific reasons are very complicated. I can't say too much. It involves the settlement agreement between them. " Cochrane took the wine from Linda. "Thank you, Linda."

"Did you know each other before?" Song Ya observes his words and looks.

"Of course, mchammer got into a lot of trouble in his richest years." Cochrane nodded.

"He's not bad." Song Ya evaluation.

"Yes, in essence, he's just a rich boy." Cochrane went on to say, "but only the two black lights in Chicago have the most promising future, which is recognized by our African American legal community."

He should be referring to himself and Jordan, "thank you." Song Yachao raised his glass.

"Aplus, you're in danger now. Being targeted by Dan Burton means you've become a target for white ultra conservatives..."

"I feel like you've been a little too dismissive of Barnes chemical case recently," Cochrane warned. "Before I came here, I studied with my aides the testimony of those witnesses who were published in danburton. There are not a few pieces of the chain of evidence for conviction."

"I didn't do it, but I didn't do it. I'll stand up straight."

Before signing the contract, he is not his own lawyer. Song Ya lies with all his face and doesn't care.

"I heard that the Chicago police have received a report, and the criminal investigation will begin immediately, right?" "There is also the possibility that the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee may appoint an independent prosecutor at any time. This position has great power to mobilize law enforcement resources," Cochran asked

"Maybe."

"You don't seem to need much of my help?" The barrister came over in high spirits, disappointed and displeased by the way that potential clients were always joking, "I thought..."

"Don't get me wrong. I might need your help."

It's just possible. After all, the situation is getting better now. His initiative to visit is an accident. After all, after all, after the Simpson case, James Cochrane's reputation became famous. At the same time, he also had a label in the minds of the American public, that is, the clients who asked him to represent the case must have committed a crime. Otherwise, who would have spent a huge sum of money and had to ask him to help with the lawsuit?

Generally speaking, that is, whoever looks for him is guilty! At least this is the current trend of public opinion.

Therefore, song Ya's attitude now is precisely because Cochrane is a little tired of reputation. On the one hand, he needs Cochrane to keep a "file" for possible treason felony lawsuits. On the other hand, after paying the price of a + CN in the cage, the situation has eased, and it is really not suitable for the outside world to know that he is talking about cooperation with Cochrane."But I haven't made up my mind yet. I hope you can understand Mr. Cochrane."

Song Ya asked, "is it convenient to disclose the charging standard of your law firm first?"

"OK." Cochrane handed over a document.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..." Song Yabian sighs as he looks at it. Lawyer fees, consulting fees, labor costs, etc. according to this price list, he estimates that he will spend about $10 million on his team in a lawsuit for a year. No wonder Simpson is crazy about making money after the lawsuit

"I can give you a discount. My colleagues and I appreciate you aplus very much." "You know I've always been happy to deal with problems for my countrymen," Cochran said

"Thank you, but I don't have to start a lawsuit." This money can not be given or not, and then the group dream lawyer group to ask for more than his group of people, song Ya response.

"Are you so confident?" Cochrane didn't know everything under the table, but he was keen. "Based on public information, I personally don't feel very optimistic. Of course, maybe you have other information."

"Aplus is not mchammer or even MJ. We have more and stronger political and economic relations." Linda interposed proudly for her boss. "Even Simpson is far from being comparable to us."

Sonya raises her eyelids unexpectedly and smiles at Cochrane.

"I understand. I understand that all African American groups have been watching aplus grow a little bit in recent years, and we are all proud of it Well, that's it

Cochrane stood up. "I'm going to fly to another city to meet clients, so don't bother. Your manor villa is very beautiful aplus. Call me if you need it. The door of my law firm is open to you at any time. "

"Good - bye, Goodman. I'm sorry, Mr. Cochrane, I can't be photographed with you... "

"I understand."

"A nger who seems to be able to see through people's hearts." Song Yamu said to Linda after seeing him and Goodman out.

"There are so many black stars he has represented, and sometimes it can be done by experience alone..." Linda said half of it and regretted, "I just lost my word, didn't I? I'm sorry aplus, but I just thought he seemed to despise you a little bit

"It's OK, Linda. He didn't despise me. Otherwise, he wouldn't have offered to help, but also for his business. Well, the Barnes chemical case is a bit troublesome, but... "

"But what?"

"So I, MJ, our governor Peter flock, too many stars or politicians are carrying multiple lawsuits at the same time, so life is not going to continue? It's OK. Don't be too nervous, Linda

In the past, the subordinates who did not know the inside information were too optimistic. Now after a series of operations, song Ya felt that the big trouble had begun to leave, but the subordinates were more nervous than themselves. Song Ya relieved her.

"Here comes Mrs. Michelle." Taraj came in to report.

After returning from New York, Sonya called Dr. may back to 3dfx headquarters, letting taraji take over a lot of daily work. There was no way to do it. For the time being, he needed to clear away the suspicion. Anyway, he is also used to switching the black and white yellow around him.

"I saw dumberton on on TV..."

Apart from dinner and other activities, Michelle seldom visits alone, so there must be something urgent. After the two exchanged views on the Barnes chemical case, "what's the matter? Just say it, Michelle, friends for so many years. " Song Ya asked.

"Well, we expect that Alice Palmer, my husband's primary opponent, should be able to gather signatures by the 20th." Michelle is really in a hurry.

According to the last exchange with their campaign headquarters, song Ya knows that once Alice Palmer, who had previously given up her constituency and now has a shot back, once she enters the donkey party primary, whether she wins or loses, she will put Michelle's husband into a moral dilemma. This opportunity was given by Alice Palmer. Now that she is back, do you, as a man, still lick your face and continue to vote?

"Is this the solicitation of signatures?"

Song Ya asked old Mike to drive Michelle, himself and Linda to a street not far from Hyde Park. He saw some black middle school students in school uniforms with Alice Palmer campaign slogans on their backs. They were holding signature documents to attract passersby by the side of the road. "It's kind of like advertising." He said.

"Not really, mainly through campaign rallies, door-to-door phone calls, knocking on the door and so on..."

Michelle rubbed her hands nervously: "the efficiency of pulling passers-by's signatures is not high. Alice Palmer should have used all the methods that can be used. According to the intelligence, there should be only one thousand, or even hundreds, difference."

"Er..."

It was so difficult for the previous senator in the original constituency to collect enough signatures, which showed how successful the sniping work of his husband and wife's campaign team had been, but it didn't seem to be enough. "Don't worry about Michelle. Actually, Alice Palmer's entry into the primary is nothing. I don't think there are any politicians without moral flaws. Since everyone is running with illness You can win her. Life goes on. "Song Ya tried to persuade her with her feelings.

"Maybe, but I want to be more perfect." Michelle replied.

"Well What do you want me to do? " Song Ya joked: "the public order in these districts is not very good. You don't want me to ask gang members to stop..."

"No, no, can you ask Reverend William for help?" Michelle waved her hands.

"Oh! I see. "
