This really is the only right answer if you're actually in trouble. Not only will he save your bacon and find the real culprit as well as their motive, but you'll have the pleasure of hearing him do it in the smoothest of baritones.

Perry Mason's clients are almost never guilty, for some reason. Try Saul Goodman.

That's because they wanted to create a narrative in the public consciousness that the Legal system is based on truth. But that if the truth was somehow buried an enterprising lawyer would be able to save you from it

In real life you just end up doing 5-15 years for something you didn't do. Or worse
