JUST CAUSE

Hallmark · Drama · 18 Jun 2010 · by: Hallmark

Alex DeMonaco (Elizabeth Lackey, Home & Away) is released from prison after serving a five-year sentance for a crime her husband let her take the fall for. Determined to make the most of the situation, Alex got herself a law degree through an Internet law school, and also vowed to track down her husband who had taken their young daughter. Once out and back in the real world though, life doesn't prove that simple, ex-cons can't get jobs practicing law - that is until Alex uses her powers of persuasion on Hamilton Whitney (Richard Thomas, The Waltons), a San Fransisco attorney, who finally gives in and hires her as a parlegal. Together with associate Patrick Heller (Shaun Benson), they take on the toughest cases no one else can handle.
