I try...
I live life to where I have the most fun, rather how much money I make. Very good story. I really liked the voice acting but I don't think it fit the character very much unfortunately. I can't see him giving out lawyer like advice to people in that voice. But I liked it very much. Thanks for putting it into more perspective with this short.
Pre good
Criminal defense lawyers don't make a lot of money though, he wouldn't own that car or complain about too much money. Criminal defense is actually a fairly meager living.

Is easier said than done.
Yay Larry! :O
Hey. First of all, let me say that despite some of the minor flaws in the flash, you did a really good job. I liked where the story took me, and even though I was sad to see where it ended, I was glad, because it meant you dragged me into it enough that I cared when I saw what had happened. I felt for Larry.
Oh, and by the way, to the fuck who wrote this huge ass blog of shit below me, have you ever heard of artistic interpretation. Now, I don't know the person who made this flash, but did you ever think that they purposely drew/created this flash in the flat, bland way you described?
I mean shit, it's a flash, not a damn picasso. They don't need to be life-like, and if they do, sometimes it's in an artist's personal interest to make it so.
So anyways, that was it. I realize I spent more space slamming ColonelDiscussion than I did talking about your piece, but hey, what can you do.
Oh, but there is one thing I did agree on him with:
The voice definitely does need work.
I also thought this flash was going to be funny because of how he spoke, and when he said 'there isn't much time', that not only told me it wasn't funny, but it made it seem WAAAAAAAY overly dramatic.
Also, it didn't seem like it suited the character at all. Maybe the voice in itself worked, but I would never have thought that that voice came from Larry.
Oh, and the coughing bit at the end: liked that, but it went a little too long, making it seem really fake.
The end.
Cheers! And congrats on turning an idea I've heard before into something new and intriguing.
Nice.
I would give it 10 if the animation was better.. But the voice acting was really strong. Nice work.
