Lawless Outlaw: From Violent Criminal to Star Lawyer

My name is Lei Dong, though on the streets they call me the Thousand Buddha Hand. I used to be the king of the underworld. Then I turned over a new leaf and got into the University of Political Science and Law.

Everyone laughs that I look like Lu Zhishen, more butcher than lawyer. They’re right. I wield the Criminal Law in one hand and a monk’s saber in the other, specializing in making all kinds of troublemakers see reason.

A client sobs, “Lawyer Lei, they’re a huge corporation. We can’t fight them!” I slam the Complete Book of Six Laws onto the table. “Before the law, there’s no such thing as big or small.”

Opposing counsel threatens me: “Lei Dong, don’t get too cocky. There are things the law can’t solve!” I show off the legal statutes tattooed across my back and grin like a laughing Buddha. “Is that so? Then why don’t we talk it over in a way the law can’t solve?”

From school bullying and domestic abuse to violent land grabs and financial fraud, I bring “hands-on” legal education to every corner the light of the law can’t reach. They call me a gangster lawyer, but I know I’m just a bookish man who wants good people to sleep soundly.

Don’t talk to me in underworld slang. That’s all in the past. Talk to me about statutes instead. That’s my future. But if you insist on making me return to my old ways... congratulations. I’ll “take” your case!
