On this episode of Objection! You’re Fiction!, Lee Bergstein and Jamie Kleidman are joined by attorney John Spagna, a partner at Clayman Rosenberg Kirshner & Linder LLP, for the second installment of their HBO War recap series, breaking down Episode 2, “No More Nasty Surprises.”
As Morgan and Carla’s high-stakes divorce heads into mediation, a potential settlement begins to unravel amid questionable legal tactics, hidden information, and a disastrous attempt to secure a nondisclosure agreement. Drawing on John’s experience handling complex family law matters, the trio examines how divorce mediation actually works, the role of financial disclosures, and why attorneys must be prepared for the facts their clients may be keeping from them.
The conversation also explores the ethical questions surrounding settlement offers, the limits of NDAs, the importance of attorney-client honesty, and the increasingly questionable conduct of both fictional law firms. Along the way, Lee, Jamie, and John debate which lawyers are actually doing their jobs, how the court of public opinion could influence the divorce, and what might be coming next for the show’s most unpredictable characters.
