You're faced with a serious problem, and are in need of legal assistance — luckily, there's a reputable, established law firm nearby. They're even putting a named partner on your case! Only thing is, that name seems like it's trying to tell you something... Some common variants are: They have a Punny Name, such as Private Eye magazine's perennial foes, 'Sue, Grabbit, and Runne.' The firm consists of two or more names that seem relevant to each other, followed by an Odd Name Out (example: The Law Offices of Swindler, Backstabber, Bloodsucker, and Bob). A common variant in America is several "ethnic" names followed by an "Anglo" one, e.g. "Acosta, Silverstein, Severino, Chandrasekhar, and Smith." The names of those representing the firm are basically a Shout-Out to a celebrity or otherwise well-known person who is identified by their full name (example: The Law Firm of Robert, Louis, and Stevenson). The firm has an exceedingly large number of named partners. (Example: The real firm Ziffren, Brittenham, Branca, Fischer, Gilbert-Lurie, Stiffelman, Cook, Johnson, Lande & Wolf.) The firm appears to be represented by nepotism, or individuals that just happen to share the same last name (example: Hamlin, Hamlin McGill). One or all of the partners have Names to Run Away from Really Fast, as an Evil Lawyer Joke ("Faust, Sinister and Moloch"). The trope codifier is "Dewey, Cheatham and Howe," which in and of itself has also been used in fiction, and still gets some mileage, even to this day. The joke also appears for other professions, such as a firm of cowboy builders named "Bodgit and Scarper" or "Blagget, Bodgit and Scarper".note British slang: "bodge it" means "half-arse it", "scarper" is "run away" and "to blag it" is "to talk something up", "to con" or "to lie like the dickens". Guess who is in charge of sales, suspiciously inflated ratings, payroll and customer run-arounds... Beware the likely sockpuppets named Blarney and Bloggs. Not to be confused with Pun-Pun. |

During a segment featuring odd billboards, signs, and other such things on America's Funniest Home Videos, one video showed the sign for a law firm, whose names actually were Dewey, Cheatum, and Howe. There's a good chance that one was at Harvard Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It's there for a specific reason. |

In Gilmore Girls, when Luke is getting a divorce after impulsively marrying his girlfriend, he just wants it over and done with, but she's a lawyer, so her firm gets involved, insisting on drawing out the divorce proceedings. They refuse to believe that Luke isn't seeking anything and hasn't gotten a lawyer of his own. Luke declares he does have a lawyer, Daniel Dewey, of Dewey, Cheatham and Howe. The actual lawyer realizes Luke is messing with him and walks away. Luke calls him back to give him Dewey's phone number: 555-5555. |

The Simpsons episode "Bart the Fink" features the law firm of Dewey, Cheatham, Howe and Weissman. In "Black Eyes, Please", Ned wants Homer to punch him in the eye as retribution from Ned punching him earlier, and this exchange occurs. In 'Barting Over', Bart wants to be legally emancipated from his parents. Some potential law firms he visited are 'Badger, Haggle, and Bill', 'Lovum and Burnham, Family Law' (that Bart chooses), and 'Hackey, Joke, and Dunnit'. |

The aforementioned Hamlin, Hamlin & McGill in Better Call Saul (the founding Hamlin is dead, and it's now run by his son Howard and co-founder Charles McGill) are a well-respected law firm, and it goes politely unmentioned whether Howard Hamlin really earned having his name above the door. However, when Howard testifies in a dispute with Charles' brother Jimmy that the younger McGill wasn't hired in order to avoid the appearance of nepotism, Kim relishes the opportunity to ask him about that on record. |

The Goodies produced three books, and in all three a Running Gag is litigation via various firms, such as "Godwater, Norfull, Ripov, and Cheet" and "Boots, Boots, Boots, Boots, Marchinup and Downagain". The latter was a Genre Savvy version, since it turned out that the firm had only three partners and both the fourth Boots and "Marchinup and Downagain" were an invention of the senior Mr. Boots. |

Lucky Luke has the Chester, Chester, Chester & Chester law firm. When he's asked which one he has an appointment with, he replies "the last one, I think". The first time he's in town, he asks the doorman for Chester, Chester, & Chester, only to be asked if maybe he means Chester, Chester, Chester, & Chester. |

In General Protection Fault, a few law firms' names end up being amusing acronyms. There's the one Nicole works for (SUE EM), the first one Trent visits when trying to get a lawyer to sue Fred for libel (SUCKER), and the one that finally takes his case (DEAD). |

World's Dumbest... plays with this frequently, particularly in the "Criminals" and "Outlaws" episodes. John Enos once does a fake informercial for his own law firm: the Law Firm of Enos, Enos, and Enos. In another episode, we're treated to a clip of an intoxicated motorist ranting in the backseat of a cruiser, inflicting harm on himself, and threatening legal action against the officer, mentioning his attorney known as Gilleto. Cue the cast putting on a fake informercial for the Law Offices of Gilleto, Gilleto, and Gilleto. In one clip, a divorce lawyer breaks into a man's house to help his ex-wife retrieve belongings she claims belong to her; upon kicking in the back door, Mike Britt inquires if this lawyer is from the firm of Gangsta, Gangsta, and Gangsta. When the clip is over, Billy Kimball puts on a fake informercial for firm of Kimball and Kimball, the firm that doesn't handle actual legal cases. |

In Grand Theft Auto IV, there is a law firm called Goldberg, Ligner, and Shyster. Shyster is a word for a lawyer or politician who uses questionable methods. Ligner is likely derived from the German word for "liar" which is "Lügner" and may be pronounced like "Ligner" if you're not familiar with German. |

Ace Attorney has the Wright & Co. Law Offices (the 'co' here being Maya Fey, sidekick who doubles as most common client), formerly Fey & co prior to Turnabout Sisters (Phoenix himself being the 'co'), renamed to Wright Talent Agency after Phoenix is disbarred and uses the office as an agency for his stage magician daughter Trucy, and finally becoming Wright Anything Agency after Apollo signs on and they can actually be called a law office again. Trucy likes to greet potential clients by saying they've come to the Wright place. |
