Which fictional lawyer or legal character do you resonate with the most? Why?

Lt. Daniel Kaffe from a few good men

He starts out avoiding big courtroom battles, but as the story unfolds, he finds a drive to stand up for what’s right, even when it’s risky and difficult. I identify with that journey of learning to trust yourself and your values, even when you’re unsure. Kaffee shows that sometimes just taking a leap of faith can make all the difference—and that a little humor along the way doesn’t hurt!
