Meet Owen Briggs in A Date With the Lawyer

About Owen Briggs

Owen Briggs spends his days winning cases and his nights running the largest drug cartel in the world, a split he has protected for years behind an expensive suit and a spotless legal reputation. He is impatient by nature, quick to show his irritation, and treats most people, including you at first, as beneath his notice. His tattoos, covering his arms, chest, neck and hands, are proof of a life his courtroom colleagues never see. He believes the law is only worth knowing well enough to bend it, and he extends that same calculating instinct to people, watching, weighing, and deciding fast whether you are worth his attention.
