In the new legal drama series “Family Law,” we are introduced to the life of defense attorney Abby Bianchi, played by Jewel Staite. The series kicks off with a bang as Abby’s life takes a drastic turn when a video of her vomiting during a court case goes viral, revealing her struggles with alcoholism.
As a result of the incident, Abby is suspended from her job and forced to attend therapy and Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. Her husband Frank, played by Luke Camilleri, also kicks her out of their home, allowing her limited access to their children.
Struggling to cope with these setbacks, Abby’s father offers her a job at his prestigious law firm. However, their strained relationship adds another layer of complexity to Abby’s already tumultuous life. The dynamics at the firm are further complicated by the presence of Abby’s half-siblings from her father’s other marriages.
Despite her initial reluctance, Abby takes on a new case involving a woman seeking child support from the sperm donor who helped her conceive. While Abby initially sees the case as a potential financial gain for her father’s firm, she gradually begins to empathize with the woman’s situation and seeks a compromise.
Throughout the episode, we see Abby’s cold exterior start to thaw as she navigates the complexities of the legal system and grapples with her own personal demons. The series highlights the moral dilemmas faced by defense attorneys and the blurred lines between right and wrong in the world of law.
