"I'm Kol Later. Call me later."

Being honest means being an idiot. Kol learned that rule long ago. And also that lying and cheating is a talent that should be used to the fullest.

Kol Later is a solo attorney who would rather work for himself than bend the knee at some firm. He’s cynical, loves money, and has a questionable moral compass. What conscience are we talking about when he defends total scumbags as long as they’re willing to pay, and plays golf with a corrupt prosecutor?

Kol grew up in a small town, knew poverty, and realized he would never — ever — go back to being broke, humiliating himself for pennies. He also discovered a talent for lying and persuading so well that even the devil himself would believe him. He graduated college with honors, got his law degree, worked the mandatory pro bono hours (which he hated with every fiber of his being), gained experience in Michigan and Vegas, and finally made it to New York.

He doesn’t care that he defends lowlifes. They pay well. He doesn’t care that losing parties might jump him on the street or smash his car. Kol will sue them and squeeze out every cent of compensation.

Reputation, money, success — he has it all. And that’s what matters.
