Trivia
Casey McKay meets Solomon 'Ex' Clemons while Ex is working on a County Line pinball machine. County Line (2017) came out the year before Legal Action (2018) and Brent Christy, the director of Legal Action, was the director of photography for County Line and the director for the two sequels County Line: All In (2022) and County Line: No Fear (2022).

Goofs
When Judge Thorne orders that testimony be stricken from the record, the court reporter is shown with a pen crossing out the testimony on her paper. This is not an accurate depiction of how a record is stricken. Stricken testimony remains in the record but it can't be referenced for evidence or legal arguments.

Cheesy and predictable

What is strange about this movie is the never ending sound track. The music plays in the background throughout the entire movie. It's corny and, after awhile, very distracting. The camera shots and scene editing often don't make sense. There are random camera angles and shots added that don't relate to the plot. The writing and character lines are like something written in high school with cheesy one liners and winks. Literal winks. I agree with some of the other reviews that this movie is more like a long pilot for a low budget sitcom. The plot is predictable. So is the ending. I don't recommend this movie.
