33:33|On this episode of Objection! You’re Fiction, Lee is joined by his wife and colleague, Jamie Kleidman, for the first installment in a new series breaking down HBO’s War, a drama centered on a high-profile divorce, a contested prenup, and two law firms racing to control the narrative.Lee and Jamie recap the pilot episode and unpack the legal issues at the heart of the show, including whether a staged affair photo could actually matter in a divorce, how infidelity might affect a prenuptial agreement, and why the court of public opinion can be just as important as the courtroom in a celebrity split.They also dig into the show’s more outrageous legal twists, from dueling divorce filings and potential forum shopping to the wildly unethical decision to plant a lawyer inside the opposing firm. Along the way, Lee and Jamie bring the exact kind of marital commentary, legal skepticism, and chaotic TV analysis that only a married pair of attorneys could provide.To learn more about Lee, Jamie, and Bergstein Flynn Knowlton & Pollina PLLC, visit the firm at www.bflawoffice.com.
