Solicitor ( Trevor Bannister ) The unnamed Solicitor acted on behalf of client Mike Baldwin in January 2006 . Suffering from early stages of Alzheimer ' s , Mike ' s son Danny and his girlfriend Leanne Battersby took advantage of his illness and persuaded Mike to change his will - thus leaving all assets to Danny . In March , the pair again attended the solicitor ' s office whereby papers had been drawn up for Danny to be awarded power of attorney over his affairs . Following Mike ' s death in April , the Baldwins and Barlows gathered nervously in the office as the solicitor read out Mike ' s will : £5 , 000 each to grandchildren Jamie and Warren Baldwin ; £10 , 000 to son Adam Barlow and everything else - Mike ' s 51 % share of Underworld , his flat , his villa in Spain and all other investments to Danny . Inevitably , Adam was upset that Mike had been manipulated and tried desperately to get Danny to give him a fair share of the factory . With tension at an all - time high amongst the Baldwins , Danny once again sought advice from the solicitor to sort out divorce proceedings as estranged wife Frankie had requested half of his assets after his considerable financial gain but Danny , determined that he would not be undermined by her , falsely informed the solicitor that Frankie had started co - habitating with her boyfriend Nathan Cooper at 7 Coronation Street - their marital home . By the end of July , Danny had finally realised that it was Frankie he truly loved and wanted to win back her affections . He promptly dumped Leanne and offered her £5 , 000 to get out of his life . With two different copies of Mike ' s last will as ammunition , Leanne extorted more money out of Danny and handed the copy of the genuine final will to the Barlows ' . After this new information had come to light , the solicitor told Danny that he was on shaky ground and advised him to try and settle the matter out of court . List of appearances . 2006
