Exhibit A
2012
Georgie Allen, Cape Town's worst-dressed lawyer-cum-used-car-dealer-cum-caffeine addict, has a lot on his plate. Saddled with a skedonk of a car, a case file full of no-hopers, and a bitter ex who's out for revenge, the last thing he needs is to take on another pro bono case. But when a gorgeous stranger asks for help after her sister accuses a policeman of raping her in a police cell, he's unable to resist. Together with his unruly sidekick, Advocate Patrick McLennan (aka the Poison Dwarf), and a tenacious township mongrel, Georgie heads off into the platteland to investigate. But things aren't as simple as they first appear, and the threesome soon find themselves enmeshed in a conspiracy of lies, small-town prejudice, corruption and bad coffee in their pursuit of ever-elusive truth and justice. Harrowing and hilarious, Exhibit A is a witty, fast-paced, contemporary legal drama with teeth.

Tooth and Nailed
2010
Georgie Allen – Cape Town’s most down-at-heel lawyer – is back, and this time he’s … Well, actually, he’s doing just fine. That is if fine can be classified as taking on a case for a promiscuous professor who may or may not have murdered one of his students, dealing with South Africa’s first gay divorce, and coping with feelings of inadequacythanks to the hotshot attorney he’s hired to pick up the slack at his office. On the upside, his relationship with the Witch, his sharp-talking ex lover, is on a better footing, but that’s only because she’s unaware of his burgeoning relationship with her clerk, Carmen.
But Georgie’s messy love life and even messier practice are put into perspective when he receives a panicked call from his brother, gung-ho game ranger, Greg. One of Greg’s clients – a twelve-year-old child - has been blinded in a horrific hyena attack, and the victim’s parents are accusing Greg of negligence. With his brother’s career on the line, Georgie heads into the Botswanan bush to investigate, accompanied by his ever-present sidekick, feisty Scottish Advocate Patrick McLennan (aka the Poison Dwarf). While there, the twosome face adversaries even the Poison Dwarf finds hard to handle, and Georgie finds out that the courtroom isn’t the only place where his adversaries like to fight dirty.
