The law punishes criminals, it's true. But not everyone who's charged is guilty. Some people need a proper defense, or else they fall through the cracks of the system.

[ Matt should know. He spent most of his young life in an orphanage, likely watching the system ruin a lot of lives. He seems to fall into a more comfortable pace when he starts to talk law, though. He brings his hands together on the table, words flowing naturally now. He really is a lawyer at heart. ]

Hell's kitchen, it... well, it was full of dirty cops, judges and DA's who were eating out of Fisk's pocket. It's impossibly easy to plant evidence and fabricate the facts when you have the system on your side. [ He shrugs, smiling a little easier. This is something he's sure about. Maybe studying to be an attorney taught him loopholes just so he could shut down the people who use them. ] Anyway, I'm more of a defender than a prosecutor. At least when it comes to the law.
