The Coding A-Team

Several years ago, three fledgling attorneys found themselves unemployed because of an economy they didn't create. These law grads promptly escaped from unemployment to the contract attorney underground. Today still looking for real jobs they survive as coders of fortune. If you're a law firm, if you have documents to review, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire...

THE CODING A-TEAM!

Starring...

Flounder Gambini, a jolly fellow from the west with a checkered past, who came to the east coast in a car full of dreams, and who may or may not be of Italian descent (but who certainly likes the food, as well as most other types of food). The first in his family to attain a higher education, Flounder graduated from law school in 2006 and became licensed to practice law in 2007. Shortly thereafter, his hopes and dreams were crushed, much like the crushed red pepper that he puts on his pizza. Now in his fourth year of doing document review, Flounder is perpetually hatching quixotic schemes in order to escape from a life of coding, and from his creditors, including writing a hit screenplay or faking his own death.

Bubbles McCoy, with a love for sports and a heart of gold, hails from the deep south and never really wanted to be an attorney. Initially planning to go to medical school, her goals were thwarted after a day of volunteering in the delivery ward, where she quickly discovered that blood, guts and naked women spread eagle were not her bag. In a hurried effort to keep her parents from shutting down the trust fund, Bubbles took the LSAT and applied to law school. Six years later, Bubbles realizes that going to law school was the biggest f#<•ing mistake of her life, especially considering that ex-cons with felony records have a higher employment rate than JDs. She subsequently entered the high-stakes world of document review, where she goes from project to project hoping to find her sought-after dream job with the federal government, which will transport her to the progressive paradise of Northern Virginia, where dreams are a reality and reality, a dream.


Tsunami Woods, whose personality is as tempestuous as her name suggests. Emanating from the hinterlands of the north, in a region forgotten by man and God, Tsunami has stormed her way into the document review market through sheer force of will. She takes it upon herself to keep Flounder in line while they busily code documents at an undisclosed document review facility.
