The bank recently got a restraining order to prevent her from protesting against their practices. Lisa Trammel has been a client of Mickey's for eight months - his very first foreclosure case, in fact - and although so far he's managed to stop the bank from taking her house, the strain and sense of injustice have taken a toll. In fact, the most significant part of Mickey's business right now is not about keeping clients out of jail but about keeping a roof over their heads, as the foreclosure boom hits thousands of people who were granted unrealistic mortgages in the good times and now face being kicked to the curb in the bad times. Even people needing legal representation to keep them out of jail are having to make cutbacks, it seems. In tough times, crime is one of the few things that still pays, but if defense attorney Mickey Haller was expecting an uptick in business during the economic downturn, the reality is a different story.
