TV show description:
This dramatic TV series follows a young working-class woman who’s employed at a prestigious New York law firm. Raised in New Jersey, she uses her street smarts to compete alongside her pedigreed Manhattan colleagues.
Martina Garretti (Janet Montgomery) finds the cut-throat atmosphere of the Stark & Rowan law firm very challenging. However, what she lacks in an Ivy League education she more than makes up for with tenacity and blue-collar insight.
After she spends just a few weeks on the job, Stark & Rowan founder Donovan Stark (Kyle MacLachlan) takes note of Martina’s ingenuity and resourcefulness.
Others that can’t help but notice Martina are third-year chair Nolan Adams (Kristoffer Polaha) who is part of Manhattan’s royal literati; Riley Prescott (Megalyn Echikunwoke), a second-year at and the daughter of the former U.S. Ambassador to Sweden; her sassy secretary, Cyndi Vega (Toni Trucks); and River Brody (Felix Solis), a former LAPD detective turned firm investigator.
With the support of Martina’s big Italian family — including her sexy older sister, Bonnie (Erin Cummings), and her encouraging mother Darlene (Donna Murphy) — she’s able to stay true to her roots as a bold, passionate lawyer on the rise in a new intimidating environment.
Episode #8 — Ridgewell
Martina is called to the stand when a remark she made to her client resulted in him assaulting the CEO of a chemical plant. Meanwhile, Darlene quits her job and starts becoming more opinionated
First aired: December 29, 2012.
What do you think? Do you like the Made in Jersey TV show? Are you sorry that the TV show was cancelled?
Can’t Believe That The Network Would Not Give This A chance. It Could Have Been As Good As The Good Wife If Given A Chance!!!
Loved the show. Why do they cancel the good ones and bring back rubbish?
I found this show by accident last Friday. Loved it, was looking forward to watching 10/11/12. Instead, freaking CSI crap.

Great tv series it should run a second season.
I loved it… I was telling everyone I knew to watch it. I looked forward to Friday’s. Now there is nothing on TV that I will watch on Friday’s.
I think it’s a good show .. the first two episodes were great and I told people to watch it.

Really?
CBS cancels a terrific “lawyer” series, Harry’s Law with great writers, fantastic actors and tries to sell this? I am insulted, as a person from New Jersey. I grew up in this state and never heard any resident speak with this accent, maybe from the NYC area, but not here. I am tired of New Jersey being put on the chopping block for their supposedly crude accent.
Of course I am not in the correct demographics, therefore my opinion isn’t of much concern to those who make the decisions.
Jeanne Dexheimer » Harry’s Law was on NBC, not CBS.
