Faxes are flying, clients are crabbing, and someone keeps smacking the bell at reception, but when former client Skippy Brockhurst is threatened by a man with designs on her young son, Lucy Bennett’s divorce firm comes to a screeching halt. A catastrophe destroys the attorneys’ vow to help their socialite client and her endangered family. Instead, Lucy and her matrimonial attorneys, the “Mat Ladies,” wind up representing the very man targeting the little Brockhurst heir.
But this isn’t the stodgy law firm of their Manhattan adversary or the slick digs of attorney Nick DeBello, the infamous publicity hound. This is the law firm of Bennett and Birnbaum—and these are the Mat Ladies.
There’s a kid in a cast on the office couch, another one texting that her shoes are too tight for the school dance, and a dog slobbering all over Lucy’s original set of court papers. No problem. The Mat Ladies can deal.
And deal they do, in a fierce custody battle, matching wits with their high-profile adversaries, a quirky judge, and the formidable Brockhurst matriarch, leading the combatants and the children to a fate none would have imagined.
