Because Prosecutors are employed by the State, and are guaranteed a salary. Most of the time Phoenix takes cases for free, or the client "forgets" to pay him.

Why does he take cases for free? I mean he got out of law school and he pursue a career. I mean HE DOES WANT TO MAKE MONEY.

He's such a pushover... And very charitable, despite his inner sarcasm and cynicism. Sometimes I wonder how he even pays the rent if all he does is take on pro bono cases. (Maybe he works part-time at a grocery store...?)

Well, it is said in an interview with the creators and one of the game's artists that Phoenix used to have a part-time job as a manga-ka's assistant during college/university/law school/Garden of Justice, so he must be a pretty darn good artist.

...Sekrit world-famous artist, anyone? :scientific:

Edgeworth has a high-ranking job working for the government. Not only does he have a regular salary, it's probably a rather large one as well. Not to mention, he grew up in a very rich family.

Phoenix takes about five cases a year--he's VERY picky to make sure he's only taking cases that 1. are innocent defendants or that 2. he has some other reason to take, and he only seems to deal with murders. And he's a pushover who takes charity cases. He probably has some other job or I can't see him being able to pay for rent/food/etc., but he's still not exactly raking in the dough.

XD Maybe he writes shounen-ai doujinshi in his spare time! :hotti:

I guess I probably just enjoy the thought of Phoenix sitting bored at a checkout, wearing a cute little apron and name-tag... But it would be cool if he did something with art in his spare time. :edgy:

I always liked to say it was because Edgeworth is more popular with the girls, but what Kira said is true.

I wonder for how long Phoenix was able to live on what Lana and Edgeworth paid for the times he helped them.

Sorry to be rude, but.. Were you even playing the same game as we were? Case 4 in the first game should have answered that question for you.

Look for Phoenix at a Wawa near you!

Phoenix probably works at a grocery store, maybe even a gas station. O.o
If he knew how to drive...he would probably get a discount on gas!

I know that edgeworth lives in Manfred von Karma. But why the hell would manfred adopt edgeworth while he hates his father and then trying to frame him? I mean manfred taught edgeworth everything he know.

Its most likely a way to say "HAHAHA FUCK YOOOOOOOOOU" to Edgeworth's father. I mean, killing him and THEN raising his only son to be just like him(karma) is just plain mean.

By raising him as exactly the opposite of a defense attorney and exactly who Gregory did not want his son to become, I assume. Raising the proverbial courtroom finger :karma-scream:

Somehow I can imagine Phoenix donning an apron and flip burgers at a fast food joint........

OOH maybe that's how he and Maya can keep going out for burgers every time!

There's a quote in Rise From the Ashes. Phoenix says to Ema "Prosecutors get the big bucks" or something like that...

Maybe he bets on stuff. Like, horse races and sports games and other bet-able stuff. After all, months pass by between each case...or maybe he's a fill-in for a fry cook or cashier. Who knows? With his awesome skills, he could do anything from...work in the deli department to collect cans to paint stuff that he sells on the street.
