Constance Cheat - Constance made a full partner in the firm two years ago. Speculation runs rampant on how she achieved that feat. Was she sleeping with one of the senior partners? Maybe she blackmailed the partners? When it was announced that she was coming on board as a full partner, Mr. Lie stated that she was sought after because of her large, influential clientele. That may be true. Her father is Senator Earl E. Bird. Constance is married to a younger man named Igotta. She refers to him as her boy toy.

Seymour Steal - Seymour has been a partner with the firm for almost sixteen years. He was a staunch family man until a few years ago when he hit a midlife crisis. He bought a red convertible, rented a bachelor pad, and started hanging out in bars and having affairs. He was still surprised when his wife, Enid A. Drink, left and divorced him.

Enid A. Drink - Ex-wife to partner, Seymour Steal. Enid was a dutiful housewife until her hubby hit a midlife crisis. She refers to her ex as The Toad. Enid likes a little nip now and then. Since her divorce, it has been rumored that she has been collecting voodoo relics. Some say she even has a six-foot snake!
