Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Tony Petrocelli is an Italian-American Harvard-educated lawyer who gave up the big money and frenetic pace of major-metropolitan life to practice in a sleepy city in the American Southwest. He and wife Maggie live in a trailer in the country while waiting for their new house to be built, and travel around in a beat-up old pickup truck. For a quiet rural area, Petrocelli seems to have no trouble running into his share of murderers to defend.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | During the opening credits, there is a scene showing Petrocelli's office window on the second floor of an old building that says "Navajo Indian Trading Post" on the side. That remodelled building, which was a curio shop, still stands in downtown Tucson, Arizona. See more » |
| Goofs | Throughout the series witnesses are often seen sitting in the courtroom before their testimony is given. This is contrary to normal courtroom procedure. Although there are exceptions to this rule they would normally be excluded from the proceedings so they would not hear testimony from the other witnesses. See more » |
