* DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler: A notably tragic version. Fletcher is focused on winning the case at all costs, convincing Samantha that ''she'' is the victim despite cheating multiple times, and even being willing to have his clients commit perjury to win. But when he wins the case and Samantha contests custody of their children to get more money, and literally pulls her crying children out of her ex-husbands arms, Fletcher realizes that he was so bent on winning the case that he didn't realize until he won that winning the case meant punishing the loving husband, and rewarding the cheating wife. [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone Once the realization sinks in]], he's horrified to realize just how he's been twisting the nature of his job all this time, he has a crisis of conscience, shouting at the judge to reverse the decision.]]

* DiabolusExMachina: Instigated by Fletcher himself, no less. His last-minute discovery that Mrs. Cole [[spoiler:was underaged when she got married, invalidating her pre-nup but leaving the common-law marriage intact]] ends up unduly costing an innocent man half his assets.[[note]]We might say it could cost a loving father custody of his children too, but Mrs. Cole had already demonstrated herself in court to be an unfaithful wife and an absolutely ''horrible'' mother, so at least she likely won't get full or even partial custody without Fletcher representing her anymore. Plus, the husband could always appeal against the decision given the point about the pre nup being voidable but not void. After Mrs. Cole turned 18, she had a limited amount of time to render the contract void but she never did, so the pre nup and marriage are valid and the judge's ruling erred from the law. The husband would get his assets back having proved adultery and could use the money as leverage for joint custody or even sole custody for himself.[[/note]]
