Perry Mason is a fictional defense attorney created by Erle Stanley Gardner. Based in the 1930s to 1960s, Mason never defends criminals, caring only for justice to prevail.
About
Little is revealed about Mason's life, only that he served in the US military during World War II. Frequently, Mason faces antagonism from District Attorney Hamilton Burger and Lt. Arthur Tragg of the Homicide Squad for his defense of the presumed guilty. Mason only takes cases that others consider indefensible, taking cases out of curiosity, sometimes even taking cases pro bono for his clients.
