[It's hard not to keep an air of smugness about just what Jeff knows, because oh God he sure does know some shit he probably shouldn't. Thankfully that smugness could just as easily be thought to exist thanks to his success or just Jeff's usual self-approval. Always a smug asshole.

He takes a thoughtful sip of his wine, letting it rest against his pallette for a few lingering seconds before swallowing it down. Enough time for him to consider the questions.]

Better than yours, I imagine. It's amazing what people will pay for freedom, security and anonymity. [Jeff offers all three and so much more. He's a representative, a PR man, a protector and a provider. He can get people out of trouble and others into trouble, and move pieces on the board wherever the hell he feels like. It's no wonder he has somewhat of a superiority complex. He craves control and lawyering provides it in abundance.]

I never quite got there back home. Disbarred just as my career was peaking. I was stupid the second time around, trying to open a firm that helped people. There's no money in it. Pro bono work and helping the little man isn't a sustainable business, it's a charity.
