“O.C. LAW”: Netflix Announces New Original Reality Series Focused on Exceptional Lawyers at Troutman Amin, LLP

Add a comment

Netflix today announced a further foray into reality television with a focus on the legal industry as it launches its new series “O.C. Law.”

“Following the success of Selling Sunset we knew we wanted to take the concept to the next level.” Netflix Production Manager Stelthy Sabatical said. “People have been obsessed with legal dramas for years– we just needed a law firm culture that was both captivating and incredibly powerful to build the project around; In Troutman Amin, LLP we found it!”

The new conceptual program will follow the trials (literally) and triumphs of one of Orange County’s most exceptional (and stylish) law firms.

“Troutman Amin, LLP was built to be unique.” firm founder Puja Amin said when word of the new program linked. “We have completely broken the law firm mold–we handle multi-billion dollar litigation and provide critical compliance advice to media and advertising companies, but we do it with a smile on our faces and with an approachable attitude.”

Puja–who Deserve to Win magazine recently christened the “Hottest Attorney in America”–has a following of fans across the nation drawn to her unique style; in addition to hundreds of clients.

“Its hard not to have fans when all you do is win–and do it your way.” Puja continued. “People love to be part of a winning team. They crave it.”

Sabatical said Netflix was drawn both to the firm’s near-mythical reputation as a hard-hitting litigation shop, and its playful attitude “Look its no secret people want to see winners, but they also want to get a sense of who lawyers really are behind the scenes and Troutman Amin, LLP lawyers are FUN in addition to being incredibly powerful– you just don’t see that very often.”

Puja is partnered with lawyer-extraordinaire Eric J. Troutman, one of the most experienced class action defense attorneys on the planet is known as the “Czar” in legal circles. A veteran of “big law” where he held the highest available title of “equity partner” for many years, Troutman started his own firm in 2022 and quickly took Puja on a as partner.

“This guy the Czar–what can I say? He’s the classic old school litigator. He’s the veteran. The gray hair. The one all the other attorneys want to be.” Sabatical explains. “He’s Harvey Specter and Clarence Darrow and Perry Mason all combined–plus he has this incredible nickname “Czar” and runs around dressed like David Blaine. He’s amazing– truly a gift to reality television.”

For his part Troutman pointed to Puja as the reason the firm was selected for the show.

“Nobody wants to watch a television show about some brilliant old lawyer who just happens to be great at his job. That’s dull. Puja is the attractor.” Troutman explains.  “There is just no one like her. Clients love her. Amazing is an understatement. But then again, that’s true of all of our lawyers.”

The firm is rounded out by three female litigators– Sabatical says O.C. Law is testing calling them the “Czar’s Angels” although Troutman disapproves–Britany Andres, Jenniffer Cabrera, and Tori Guidry.

“These women are beautiful, smart, aggressive–they’re the modern day equivalent of Charlie’s assassins of old.”  Sabatical says. “Never seen a more impressive bunch of lawyers. None has. Once I had a sense of these folks I knew the series was going to work.”

But despite all of the talent and personality on display, the show would still have been missing one last critical element.

“We still needed a straight man. Someone who serves to reign in the high-flying antics of the firm’s big personalities and brings the whole thing down to Earth” Sabatical explains. “And with the firm’s recent addition of Big Bad John Henson, we got just what we needed.

Henson, who recently joined the firm after high-profile roles with Consumer Affairs and Lending Tree–will play the role of the straight-laced do gooder who often tries to reign in the rest of the case.

“I’m not sure I’ve really earned the role since I’ve only been at the firm for a couple of months” Henson admits. “But if anyone needs to play the part of T.V. Dad to this bunch, I guess it has to be me.”

When asked about whether the Troutman Amin, LLP lawyers would be camera ready he had aa swift response: “Just look at the firm’s YouTube channel (@deservetowin), its incredibly vibrant and fun. So much personality. These people get it.”

Netflix states it plans to test a pilot for O.C. Law in early summer with a full release in September.

Also, this is just an April Fool’s Day joke.

Fortunately. 🙂

Published by Eric "Czar" Troutman

The Czar of TCPAWorld Eric Troutman is one of the country’s prominent class action defense lawyers and is nationally recognized in Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) litigation and compliance. He has served as lead defense counsel in more than 70 national TCPA class actions and has litigated nearly a thousand individual TCPA cases in his role as national strategic litigation counsel for major banks and finance companies. He also helps industry participants build TCPA-compliant processes, policies, and systems. Eric has built a national litigation practice based upon deep experience, rigorous analysis and extraordinary responsiveness. Eric and his team feel equally at home litigating multibillion dollar telecommunications class actions in federal court as they do developing and executing national litigation strategies for institutions facing an onslaught of individual TCPA matters. They thrive in each of these roles – delivering consistently excellent results – while never losing sight of the client experience. While many firms now tout TCPA expertise, Eric has been there from the beginning. He built one of the country’s first TCPA-only defense teams and began serving as national TCPA counsel for his clients nearly a decade ago. This perspective allows him to swiftly develop the right litigation strategies for dealing with recurring problems, without wasting time on tactics that are bound to fail. Eric’s rich historical perspective and encyclopedic knowledge of the TCPA landscape also make him an invaluable resource to institutional compliance teams struggling to comply with the shifting regulatory landscape. No task is too small – or too big. Indeed, Eric and his team have helped build TCPA-compliant systems and processes for some of the largest and most complex corporate entities in the country. He commonly works with in-house compliance counsel to build and implement enterprise and business-line specific TCPA solutions, performs TCPA audits and drafts and reviews proposed TCPA policies and procedures. He and his team also have the technical expertise necessary to assist call centers seeking to develop TCPA-resistant call path architecture or to modify existing telephony and software integration to better insulate from potential TCPA exposure. Eric has built a reputation for thought leadership. An avid blogger and speaker, he has been at the forefront of the industry’s effort to push for clarity and a return to sanity for the TCPA for years. He was selected to advocate for the financial services industry on important TCPA issues before the Federal Communications Commission and co-authored the nation’s only comprehensive practice guide on TCPA defense. In his spare time, Eric leads defense teams representing banks and other financial services companies in consumer finance litigation matters. He has experience representing clients in UCC, TILA, RESPA FCRA, CCRA, CLRA, FDCPA, RFDCPA and FCCPA claims, as well as in fraud and bank operations issues.
