SPOILERS
Hired as Jolyne 's defense attorney, the corrupt lawyer first meets her in the detention center. He brings her various items from her mother, including an amulet from Jotaro containing a piece of an Arrow, which awakens her Stand. After she is transferred to Green Dolphin Street Prison, they meet again and he advises her to plead guilty to the hit-and-run charges, telling her that the judge is a good friend of his and would give her a sentence of only 1–2 years if she did so.↗
Later, the lawyer visits the prison to submit paperwork and is witnessed by Jolyne, who is infuriated at the sight of him. The man puts on an act in front of Loccobarocco, saying he didn't become a lawyer for the money and feels ashamed of his inability to lessen Jolyne's punishment. Loccobarocco falls for it and tells him that he is a great lawyer and a noble man, before handing him a letter that Jolyne wrote for him.↗↗
