Your Character
You first come across his name while investigating the conservatorship scheme, and you can either call him as Aislinn's attorney, or let Aislinn call him by acting worried about Sorcha. Either way, he hangs up as soon as he learns what the call is about. At the end of the chapter, he calls you and agrees to meet in person and talk about the case. When you do, he's shown to be paranoid and believes that he's being watched due to being an unwitting pawn in defrauding numerous people. Depending on your choices, he starts to trust you.

In Chapter 12, you call him to tell him about Judge Ritter being corrupt. He says he always thought that he was one of the good ones, but at the same time he was suspicious of him too. Some time later, Hank contacts you telling you that he has found several internal emails that incriminate the two ADAs and Judge Ritter, and he promises to send you all the files as soon as possible. However, that never happens as a few hours later, it is announced through the news that Hank has allegedly committed suicide by falling off a skyscraper.

Karl Goodall & Erica Carpenter
Hank barely talks with the two outside of court. Because there are a lot of cases that cross through Hank's desk every week, he sometimes relies on others to expedite the process, and simply signs off on the already established findings and reports them to court. According to him, the two ADAs took advantage of how overworked he was, and because Erica Carpenter's record is spotless, Hank didn't find it suspicious. Recently however, Hank joked with Karl about how often he takes conservatorship cases, and Karl's reaction worried him.
