I happened to sit down for 'Attorney Client' and not thinking highly of it thought why not salvage something from the viewing, do a review. OG 'Law & Order' had plenty of memorable episodes especially during it's earlier run, but it also had many for the mediocre side. This happens to be one of those times. It goes thru their typical formula, but the story is pedestrian without any real satisfying moments and the main cast is left to go thru the motions.
A lady shot dead in her car turns out to be the wife of defense attorney Harold Jensen (Peter Friedman). Notions of a carjacking, former client are looked at and produce one solid lead. When he's found to be not involved, the work of Det. Briscoe (Orbach) & Green (Martin) turn up an exotic dancer Jasmine (Annie Parisse) and her boyfriend Bobby (Victor Verhaeghe). Suddenly a picture starts to emerge that Jensen might have killed her and tried to throw off the scent.
Defense lawyers make for good villains with little to no work, but the tale is a predictable whodunit. Issues of infidelity, divorce, frame job pop up on route to a simple finish. Speaking of such, it ends on an odd note like we haven't heard the last from this guilty party. It's like they tried to create energy out of a nothing moment or when someone knows they're the idiot but have to get in the last word to save face. Parisse pops up in a early role before going on to portray ADA Borgia.
