His no-nonsense secretary Marnie Wilson keeps things together at the office in the Tenderloin at 777 Bush Street. To her frustration Nick is always turning away clients. He doesnt really need the money after all. In The Amorous Attorney Jeffrey Klein's love affair is heating up and Nick has to chase him down because frankly he needs a lawyer to set up his new business.

When they get there they find a corrupt politician a flirtatious police captain and a woman terrified of an uncertain future and what it holds for her. Long before the Summer of Love pride parades down Market Street and the fight for marriage equality San Francisco in 1953 was all about the Red Scare F.B.I. investigations yellow journalism run amok and the ladies who play mah jong over tea.
