## Introduction

Kamil Kowalski is one of the few Attorneys that can be spotted around around Los Santos. His frequent appearances around Pillbox, and Mission Row Police Station made him no stranger to the community, yielding him various nicknames and reputation for his work as an Attorney. It is no secret he tends to forget the names of any close-acquittances, or even more embarrassingly, sometimes his own past-clients, despite his promises to put an effort to remember them all.

## Backstory

Kowalski may initially appear as an Englishmen, but this is a mere semblance of his actual identity. His fluency in English, and claims to have grown up in London may elude to the idea that perhaps Kamil Kowalski emigrated to England at some point of his life.

## Career

#### The initial arrival to Los Santos...

*Kamil Kowalski* initially arrived in *Los Santos* with an ambition of becoming a reputable entrepreneur within *Los Santos*, however at the time, his over-ambition made him forget the most important factor in starting up an enterprise, something he unfortunately lacked, which was money. This forced *Kamil Kowalski* to put his ambitions to the side, and consider an alternative, a career-path that would flood him with paperwork, but at the same time, reward him for it.

Out of all careers that were available at the time, *Kamil Kowalski* was mad to even think he would be capable of passing the *'Bar Exam'*, and become an Attorney. He simply had had no experience in law, or any qualifications that would remotely improve his suitability as a candidate. Against all odds, *Department of Justice* was insane enough to grant him the licence to practice law, officially deeming him *competent* enough to start his occupation as an Attorney at Law.

Initially, work as an Attorney for *Kamil Kowalski* was a tough one. Having had no vehicle to actually commute across Los Santos, he spent a lot of time running and jogging across the city, coincidentally and rather unfortunately, this was also during a period where the city suffered from a high crime rate. Which to no surprise, created several monetary setbacks for him, and even at one point forced him to run barefoot across the city. Even *Mission Row Police Department* seemingly gave him a hard time due to his frequent appearance at the station, which gave him the initial nickname *"Stalker"* amongst the officers for some time. However, this did not prevent *Kamil Kowalski* from continuing to seeking his first case, a case to create a spark for the foundations of his reputation, and experience apparently.

#### The First Case

On the 11th of June 2021, an injured fellow called *Teräs Dante* was admitted into Pillbox Emergency Center*,* claiming he had been hit by a police cruiser. The chatter of a potential lawsuit caused the paramedics to redirect *Teräs Dante* to *Kamil Kowalski*, who at the time was present within the lobby. Reportedly, *Kamil Kowalski* was willing to take the case, and charged as little as a single dollar for his services. This came to be known as *[THE STATE V. TERÄS DANTE]* case, and Kowalski rejoiced at his first case, however, what he did not know at the time, was the fact the officer that hit his client was actually *Leo Sharpe*, the Chief of Police. Luckily for *Kowalski*, the case didn't reach the court; as *Leo Sharpe* agreed to settle the dispute, and pay the five-hundred in compensation.

#### The State v. Paul Meyers

On the 27th of June 2021, Kamil Kowalski was the defensive representative for *Paul Meyers;* who stood accused for 'Assault with a deadly weapon' following a deadly shootout that happened three weeks prior to the court trial. During the trial, Kamil Kowalski made outrageous claims that the arresting Officer Malarsky was actually collaborating with the Teal Gang, on the basis that the police report was "lackluster and insulting", and the fact one of the witnesses for the prosecution was an actual associate with the aforementioned gang. On the other hand, the prosecution was represented by Assistant District Attorney Jimmy, who made baseless claims that this was actually a premeditated setup specifically organised by the Noodle Palace in an effort to stir up trouble with the Teal Gang. Due to the nature of the situation being poorly documented within the police report, Judge Dixon ruled in favour of Kamil Kowalski, and found *Paul Meyers* not guilty of 'Assault with a deadly weapon' but instead, found him guilty for 'Battery'. The outcome successfully removed *Paul Meyers's* status as a felon, and allowed him to find employment at the Premium Deluxe Motorsport store, once again.

Following the announcement of the verdict, followed by the sounds of joy in the courtroom, unfortunately, it wasn't without blood being spilled. Just as the crowd dispersed the courtroom, *Paul Meyers* was actually stabbed within the corridors just outside of it. The perpetrator of the attack remains unknown, and the three witnesses that saw the crime take place seemingly disappeared.
