Line 5: A sister trope to [[Only Shop in Town]]. {{examples~~\|Examples:~~}} == [[Comic Books]] == * In the [[Marvel Universe]], pretty much every time anyone in New York needs a criminal lawyer for anything, they'll call in [[Daredevil\|Nelson and Murdock]], unless the writer feels like being different, in which case they may go for [[She Hulk\|Jennifer Walters]]. == [[Film]] == * In ''[[Class Action]]'' (1991), both plaintiff and defendant in the same action are represented, not by the same firm, but by two different lawyers who are father and daughter. As the case is a manufacturer liability suit for a mass-production vehicle (which the film brands "Meridian", but which is an [[Every Car Is a Pinto\|exploding Pinto]] in [[Bland-Name Product\|all but name]]) it's really not clear why this conflict of interest is allowed to exist; surely there are plenty of other lawyers even in a ghost town like [[Detroit]]? == [[Live-Action TV]] == * ''[[LAL.A. Law]]'' * ''[[Ally McBeal]]'' * ''[[Picket Fences]]'' had all manner of issues show up in cases plead by one particular attorney to one particular, exasperated judge. * ''[[The Practice]]'' Line 22 ⟶ 25: [[Category:Settings]] [[Category:Drama Tropes]] [[Category:~~Only Law Firm In Town~~{{PAGENAME}}]]
