Last Chance Lawyer NYC follows the extraordinary world of Howard Greenberg, one of New York’s most infamous, outlandish and feared criminal defence attorneys. Available 24/7, 365 days a year, Brooklyn based Howard is no ordinary lawyer. With his wild... grey hair, outrageous style of advocacy and robust attitude to customer relations, he's earned a legendary reputation in the courtroom. For Howard life is one long battle, where “winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing".

In each episode we follow Howard battling prosecutors, sparring with ballsy wife Marie and arguing with junior attorney Jonathan over trial strategy. But for those he represents, it's his straight-talking, fearless attitude they love... that could keep them out of prison. This compelling, funny series immerses us in the world of one of New York’s maverick but most forceful lawyers at home and at work, championing his low-income clients to fight the charges and get another chance at life.

This is a series like no other inside the world of a one-of-a-kind lawyer and his clients, facing everything from car crime to murder charges. With exclusive access to this unorthodox character, his family, his legal team and his defendants, we take the lid off the world of criminal defence as never before. Filmed in iconic Brooklyn, inside the courtrooms of New York City and at his home in New Jersey, the series takes an intimate look at the lives of this warm, naturally funny group of people as they confront the reality of defending deadly serious cases whilst dealing with life’s everyday ups and downs.
