Oh, God. XD Hooker!Nick. Drawingsplz8D;
All kiddingsortof aside, I'd think that, with wealthy friends like Edgeworth, Nick would at least have some money, you know? Edgey definitely owes him for saving his ass. Of course, I wouldn't expect him to be throwing money at Nick or stuffing it in his thong, since Nick needs to GET OFF HIS ARSE AND DO SOMETHING. (Four cases a year? Isn't that kind of... bad? It's almost like he WANTS to be a hobo.)

Hey jerkies, if you want to ruin my anime lawyers with your horrible perverted shit, could you at least do it in a thread clearly marked for doing so. That way I wouldn't be gouging my eyes out right now.

Only thing I can remember him needing to pay off (from the games I've played and their cases. Haven't played all the cases yet though) are possibly Maya's burgers and that time when Edgeworth bailed Maya out of the detention center on one case. Oh wait..then there's the ransacked office where Mia was killed. Stuff broken and scattered throughout the office. I find a few things ironic:

1. That he wins all these cases and yet Edgeworth has more money and he loses against him.
2. He's not paid for the "investigations" he does. Then again I thought either detectives or the "lawyer's assistant" were the ones who would do the investigation portion. That should've been put on his payment tab too! :edgeworth:

Also find it strange he's a 24 year old lawyer when going for a lawyer (least in the US) is 8 years of schooling. Guess you can't compare the game to real life no matter how you try. :redd:

And dont forget the Gum Edgeworth gave to Oldbag. It was probably a very expensive gum when it came from Edgeworth.

Thats because Edgeworth's a workoholic! Phoenix's wins < Edgeworth's wins in an entire year - I've always thought Edgy handles hundreds of cases a year compared to Phoenix's 4 (even if other cases may happen during the years that he was a lawyer). :edgy:

I think Phoenix just complains about having to pay the rent and stuff - but I think he really isn't poor at all, just that he dislikes his friends like Maya spending his money so unwisely...
Of course, he isn't as rich as Edgy though - Edgy works so hard, he deserves to spend the money he had accumulated...

Croik made a pretty good point. Over the course of his entire three-year-long career, Phoenix had only eleven to fifteen clients, depending on whether or not you count Lana and Zak, as well as whether or not you consider Turnabout Goodbyes and The Stolen Turnabout to each be two cases. That's not a lot of cases, which means, even if he charged his clients an arm and a leg, Phoenix must have a rather low annual income. When you also consider that some of his cases were possibly done for free, it's fairly obvious why his income's so low.

Oh gosh, reviving an old thread :pearl-blush:

I can see why Phoenix is so poor. If he takes 3-5 cases a year, he has to be doing something else to pay the bills. Especially many of his clients are poor and his friends.

Spoiler: PW's clients for all 3 games
Larry: Defended him for free

Maya: Free

Will Powers: He probably paid Nick underpaid or not.

Edgeworth: He probably paid Nick really well.

Lana Skye: She probably paid Nick really well. I bet she makes more money than Miles $$$$$

I'm not sure if Nick could live off just Edgey's and Lana's payment for a year but he's not a hobo in JFA eh?

Maggey: Nick didn't know Maggey prior to defending her, so I assume she would pay Nick whatever she had. Not a lot.

Maya again: Free

Maximillion: Nick probably got paid. I'm not sure if he would pay more or less than Edgeworth/Lana though.

Matt Engarde: Probably didn't get paid since he was guilty

Ron: Nick probably got paid. Probably less than Edgey/Lana/Maximillion

Maggey again: He probably defended her for free.

Iris: Nick probably defended her for free.


I wanted to see how much money Nick would make if he worked year round.

Let's say it takes 5 days for a full arrest/investigation/trial (The day of the murder/arrest (1), The day of investigation and for the accused to get a lawyer (1), and trial (3))

365 days/5 days = 73 cases a year without no days off.

If Nick doesn't get paid if he loses and he charges $500 a case (which is a very good deal). And he loses 10 cases a year.

63 won cases * $500 = $31.5k

If Nick wins all cases a year then it increases to $36.5k

Which is a pretty decent income for 1 (maybe 2) people to live on.
