lawyers usually make a TON of money for each case, but somehow phoenix can't pay the rent for his office and has to eat noodles for dinner every night...

he should have a LOT of money! especially since he defends rich celebrities who would pay him oodles of cash to defend them

Well, you have to remember that Larry really only payed with a statue, and it really never mentions the payment aspect of him taking the case.

Maybe he's got a crack habit we don't know about.

No.

I actually wondered myself why he didn't have a lot of money, because I think the only people that wouldn't have paid were Larry, Maya and Matt.

Haha I'm useless at trying to describe these things.

Wow. I think this is the closest someone's come to finding a real contradiction in a long time. There have been countless topics about supposed contradictions, and there's finally no explanation.


Or for some reason they might have free defenses in the future. Who knows?

I guess he's taken most of his cases pro bono (Larry, Maya, Maggey, and Iris immediately spring to mind). He probably didn't get anything for defending Engarde either (due to Engarde getting a guilty verdict).

Also, I'm sure Maya drains all his cash (due to being a burger addict, and all).

Not that he has to worry now, seeing as he now spends his days playing piano and poker at some restaurant (while acting as Trucy's pimp sending Trucy to work at The Magic Bar every night!).

So how come Kristoph (apparently) has a large supply of very expensive nail polish, then?

Why wouldn't he charge Maggey?
And even so, there's still Will Powers, Max Galactica, and Ron Delite who, by the way, are all very rich. And I'm sure he's had other clients who would pay him.

Phoenix doesn't eat noodles night by night, that's Gumshoe!

I don't think he's particularly poor (He paid for a 20 course meal after all or maybe Edgeworth did that...) he's just underpaid for a defense attorney. But then again, how many clients actually paid him? Maybe he's living on Mia's life insurance?

well phoenix is always complaining about not being able to pay the rent, so he probably is pretty poor.

Yeah, I think that Phoenix just takes way too many cases pro bono. Plus, he'd probably feel bad for asking his friends to pay him, since he's so fiercely loyal to them. And then he has to pay for Maya's burger funds. Poor guy.

Wasn't there a lot of times in 2-3 where Maya kept asking Nick for things? Like to buy her a poster, tickets, etc.


>.> I think he spends his money on badge polish, to keep it shiny so he can flash it at people whenever needed XD

Phoenix only takes around 4 cases a year, several of them for little or no money, while still paying bills and rent on his office (and possibly a separate apartment, depending on how you interpret a few lines). I'm surprised he's not MORE poor, because damn, if I could survive by only working for 12 days a year, that would be AWESOME.

It's probably only because he had clients like Edgeworth, Max, and maybe Ron that he's able to eat and wear clean clothes.

Edgeworth is Nick's sugar daddy.

All Nick has to do is walk around in a thong and purr and Edgey will pay the bills for him.

Nooo... Who will protect us from the coming Combine invasion!?

(Wow, this topic has gone from Nick being poor> To Maya's burger obssesion >To Nick's hookers> and then Edgeworth.)

Well, case solved. Phoenix pays his bills by dancing for Edgeworth.

I find the defendant...

:guilty:

I always wanted to do that... :udgy:

Also, i'll do that art... It may ruinmy credibility in this household... :eh?:
