Goldberg, Ligner & Shyster: Difference between revisions

Co-founded by [[Tom Goldberg]] and [[Patrick Ligner]], Goldberg, Ligner & Shyster centers its operation around legal actions against "corruption and vice in the highest echelons of society", having, among others, participated in litigation involving [[Betta Pharmaceuticals]] (2001), [[Pirate Music]] (2004), and [[Rusty Brown's Ring Donuts]] (2006); its high profile nature makes it well known among the legal circle as well as various high ranking individuals, companies and organizations who are likely to be threatened by GLS. The firm also touts itself as choosing not to demand legal fees for its services if it is "''pro bono publico''" (for the public good). By events in GTA IV, the firm has three partners: the aforementioned Tom Goldberg and Patrick Ligner, and [[Dick Shyster]]. The firm also has a website at [[Goldberglignerandshyster.com|www.goldberglignerandshyster.com]].

In addition to legal work, GLS donates part of its revenue to "Goldberg's Guys", a recently-formed charity organization which primarily helps disadvantaged boys learn to swim - Tom Goldberg is known to be actively involved in the organization's activities.

In GTA IV's storyline, [[Francis McReary]], a corrupt LCPD police officer, had been uneasy by the possibility of GLS acting against him. In response, he instructs [[Niko Bellic]] to [[Final Interview|infiltrate the firm by masquerade as a job applicant, retrieve evidence that incriminates McReary, and kill Goldberg]]. Following Goldberg's death, Shyster is mentioned to have taken over many of Goldberg's cases.

 

[[Kiki Jenkins]], one of Niko's [[Internet in GTA IV|internet]] [[girlfriends in GTA IV]], and [[Dave Grossman]], a friend of [[Billy Grey]] in [[The Lost and Damned]], are also known to work for the firm.
