Jerry Kleinert

Jerry Kleinert is a criminal defense attorney located in New York City. His clients have included a mafia family, a City Councilman who had a habit of exposing himself in public and later exposed himself in court, pawnbroker Jack Pierson, and thug for hire Roy McDuggan. He frequently accuses the Remnant of violating his clients' civil rights and once suggested that Davin Felth had no control over his troops. He has also clashed with NYPD Detective Nick Franklin as well as Jedi Masters Bryan Khayman and Michael Myers. When Tommy Doyle became Franklin's Lieutenant, Franklin makes him aware of the ways Kleinert manages to keep Pierson and McDuggan from doing serious prison time.
In 2018, he encountered Jamal Wilkins who had arrested Pierson as an accessory to a number of murders after finding property stolen from the murder victims in Pierson's pawn shop. Nick eventually tells Jamal of how many times Kleinert has gotten Pierson out of serious trouble in the past to which Jamal responds with C1-10P and a pair of Stormtroopers who had been sent by Myers and Tevin Felth to take Pierson down to Federal Plaza for further questioning by the Remnant. He later appears representing McDuggan who had been arrested by Remnant troops for breaking a man's arm in a bar fight and arranges a deal for McDuggan with Ryan Pratchard in exchange for McDuggan's testimony against Landon McKnight's mother Rebecca. Felth later suggests that they wouldn't have to deal with Pierson or McDuggan for quite some time indicating that Kleinert was unable to keep them out of prison this time.
