Fairly Legal plot
Kate Reed (Sarah Shahi), a top lawyer frustrated by the system's endless bureaucracy and daily injustice, takes a sharp left turn to become the ultimate anti-lawyer: a mediator. Using her knowledge of the law, along with her intuition and a "whatever-it-takes" approach to conflict resolution, Kate takes on her adversaries - from big corporations to bitter divorces. After her father's sudden death, she finds herself at odds with the new boss, her stepmother Lauren Reed (Virginia Williams), and in bed with her future ex-husband, Justin Patrick (Michael Trucco).
