Window-shop a witness for the prosecution? When the Kocian Law Group opened for business in a renovated former Kenny Rogers Roasters store in Manchester, Connecticut, attorney Nick Kocian figured the building’s drive-thru window would make things easier for clients wanting to drop off and/or pick up documents “We have drive-thrus for ATMs and we have that customer convenience,” stated Kocian. “Why not a law firm?” For that matter, why not Zoidberg?

Wait, kids?? Yessirree Bob! “They make the kids stay outside the casino, but I can come through with them out here,” states patron Mark Hearon. “Plus, my son gets candy.” Nice to know that even if Dad loses, his kids (and their dentist) still win.
