Adam Stanhope is the lawyer Mum and Callum hire to represent Dad during his trial. He’s a nought—and to Callum’s extreme surprise, he’s a second-generation lawyer. Because he understands the importance of not appearing too successful to Crosses, Mr. Stanhope’s office waiting area is dingy and dirty, but his actual office is plush and looks sleek and expensive. Mr. Stanhope is brusque and unemotional, and he’s unconvinced that he can do anything for Dad until he learns that he has the money to approach Kelani Adams to help him.
