Sir Atticus: Chief Barkrister of King James's court. Comfort animal. Closer of every meeting he attends.
Every royal court needs a top dog. Ours is a Bernese Mountain Dog named Atticus, after the only fictional lawyer who was both ethical and well-dressed. He has never billed an hour, never lost his temper in front of a judge, and never once paid a ticket without a fight. Mostly because he can't reach the keyboard.
A working law office wrapped in a royal joke. Atticus is the part that's just genuinely sweet.
Bred in the Swiss Alps to pull carts and be unreasonably gentle. He has adapted both skills to Brooklyn: he pulls toward every food cart, and he is unreasonably gentle with everyone he meets.
Named for Atticus Finch. Holds no law degree, yet somehow projects more calm authority in a waiting room than most attorneys manage in a courtroom.
Getting a summons is stressful. A 100-pound dog who thinks you're the most important person alive is a remarkably effective antidote. He has settled more nerves than any brochure ever could.
Will abandon any task (including, theoretically, a billable one) for fresh snow, a sunny patch of floor, or the faint suggestion of cheese.

Undefeated. The methodology is questionable. The results speak for themselves.
| The "case" | Strategy | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| People v. The Mailman | Aggressive tail-wagging; full belly exposure | Dismissed. Became friends. |
| The Matter of the Dropped Sandwich | Decisive action. No deliberation. | Won. Under 2 seconds. |
| In re: Who's a Good Boy | Eye contact. Sustained. | Settled. He is, in fact, a good boy. |
| The Great Vacuum Standoff | Strategic retreat to another room | Hung jury. Rematch pending. |
| Your Actual Traffic Ticket | Referred to the human with the bar license | Call (844) 92-JAMES |
* Atticus has not, in the strictest legal sense, tried any cases. The undefeated record reflects his standing as a very good dog, not legal outcomes. For real results on a real ticket, that's what James is for.
