Retired lawyer Madeline "Matty" Matlock lands an associate position at New York City law firm Jacobson Moore, citing financial hardship brought on by her deceased husband's gambling debts. Her first case involves Raymond Harris, who is seeking compensation for being wrongfully convicted and imprisoned for serial rape and murder. Working with fellow associates Billy and Sarah and aspiring senior partner Olympia, Matty tracks down a former prostitute who filed a police report that was not submitted into evidence, earning Raymond a $20 million settlement. Unbeknownst to everyone, Matty is really Madeline Kingston, a wealthy retiree living with her husband and grandson and determined to avenge her daughter's death, which was the result of someone at Jacobson Moore concealing documents that could have helped take opioids off the market.

As Matty tries to settle in at Jacobson Moore while also trying to figure out how to get evidence connected to Ellie's death, Olympia is approached by one of her clients, Deidre, whose 18-year-old nephew Michael has been accused of killing 16-year-old Ariana Perez behind the bodega owned by his friend Charlie's family. Michael has developmental delays and has gone mute following the incident. Olympia reluctantly agrees to defend Michael, enlisting Matty, Billy, and Sarah to help her. Matty manages to find a discrepancy in the testimonies between Charlie's father Jimmy and another eyewitness, forcing Jimmy to admit there was a party in the bodega where alcohol was served to minors. A seemingly incriminating video of Michael crops up but, with Matty's help, Olympia proves Charlie doctored the video and that Ariana died in an accident while she went around back to have sex with Charlie. Olympia and her estranged husband Julian argue after she fails to tell him their daughter got sick, but eventually they make amends and decide to try and make their divorce more amicable. Matty is able to manipulate Olympia into visiting her Queens apartment so she can get the passcode for Olympia's phone.

Matty is asked to help Olympia represent Robert, an elderly artist who is suing the owners of his building for inadvertently causing the illness that killed his wife Sandy. The case becomes tough for Olympia when her colleague and friend Darius is discovered to be leading the defense. Matty manages to gain access to the files connected to the opioid cover-up, but the ones she was after are encrypted and untraceable. The building owners provide a report insinuating Robert's slight hoarding might have made Sandy sick, derailing the lawsuit. Matty and Edwin fight over Alfie slacking off at school in order to help with her investigation. Matty befriends Robert and soon manages to prove that the building owners really were responsible for Sandy's illness. Robert is offered a settlement which he quickly accepts, but Matty discovers that Howard "Senior" Markston, Julian's father and the senior partner at Jacobson Moore, has done some legal wrangling that makes the settlement worthless. Olympia is crestfallen, but cheers up quickly when Julian takes her side. Matty and Edwin reconcile and he takes over as her investigative partner so Alfie can focus on school. Matty soon finds evidence that suggests Senior was responsible for hiding the opioid files.

Jacobson Moore is tasked with an extremely big class-action case, a female ex-con suing the prison system for mistreating her while she served time for drug use. Matty soon bonds with the plaintiff, whose troubles were similar to Ellie's, but the case quickly goes awry when the plaintiff relapses and disappears; none of the other female prisoners will testify out of fear of being a snitch. Matty manages to track down the plaintiff and discovers she was manipulated into relapsing by the prison warden, so the money meant for the settlement could be used for funding the prison's rehabilitation, allowing Olympia to win the case. Edwin allows Alfie to start helping Matty again on a smaller scale. Against Matty's objections, Billy sets her up on a dating site, only for someone to recognize her.

The company wins, causing Julian and Olympia's already shaky marriage to crumble. In the present, Julian and Olympia's relationship is improving and they decide to take another look at the case.

Olympia manages to find evidence suggesting the formula was contaminated and, with sentimental testimony from one of the deceased baby's mothers, she wins the case. Afterwards, Julian tells Matty he's bringing her onto the WellBrexa team, which could allow Matty to get the information she needs to expose Senior's crimes.

However, Matty bounces back and finds a technicality that gets the text chain ruled inadmissible, so WellBrexa wins the case. Meanwhile, Julian and Olympia get back together as Billy plans to propose to his long-term girlfriend. Unfortunately, Billy is dumped after he proposes while Sarah has a successful evening with her crush. Trying to start fresh, Julian confesses to Olympia that he had an affair shortly before their separation, while Matty manages to obtain Senior's e-mail password.

Matty manages to gain access to Senior's computer and retrieve what appears to be an incriminating email to Julian. Olympia eventually discovers that the pictures were posted by one of her friends, who was cheating on her husband, thought Nadira saw her, and therefore wanted to discredit her. Elsewhere, Matty is crestfallen when the email actually shows that Senior was in Australia when the opioid documents arrived at the office, meaning either Julian or Olympia perpetrated the cover-up.

Meanwhile, Olympia is tasked with resolving a custody dispute between Hispanic couple Bruno and Paloma. This reminds Matty of her own custody dispute with Ellie 10 years prior, where Matty fought to gain custody of Alfie after Ellie's neglect caused him to burn his hand. Ellie was distraught and overdosed the last day of the trial, causing Matty to blame herself for Ellie's death. Julian positions himself as opposing counsel, creating tension between him and Olympia.

Matty convinces Paloma to relinquish Tenoch while Sarah discovers Bruno employed a neighbor to spy on Paloma. Julian and Olympia's bickering forces the judge to hold them in contempt of court; while in holding, they reconnect and agree to start fresh. Sarah apologizes to Billy and the two reconcile.

Matty explains her motives to Olympia and insists their friendship was genuine, but Olympia remains distrustful. Amy's husband agrees to a divorce, which Olympia finds suspicious; she tasks Matty with examining the prenuptial agreement. She finds that a divorce would give Amy's husband custody of the child. Olympia realizes that an annulment would void the prenuptial agreement, but one can only be issued with proof the marriage was fraudulent. Billy and Sarah discover Matty's phone in Olympia's purse and follow her to find Matty, but Matty conceals Olympia's actions and agrees to help with the case. An interview with the priest who officiated the marriage reveals that Amy's husband lied about how religious he was, which is sufficient grounds for the annulment.
