Luke

Luke McCoy is the co-owner and manager of Chez Albert and Chez Albert Apartments. In Season 2, Luke passes the bar exam and receives his defense attorney badge. He is Albie's best friend.

NOTES:
 * Ends up with Sam

Appearance and Personality
Spending his childhood in the rough neighborhood of Pembroke has made Luke wary of people and extra protective of Albie. Luke is street smart and has been able to talk his way out of potentially dangerous situations that he and Albie were confronted in the past.

A surprising fact about Luke is revealed at the beginning of Season 2. In the years right before Chez Albert's opening, Luke attended a prestigious law school and completed his studies - but never took the bar exam to receive his attorney's badge. It is revealed that Luke gave up on his dreams of becoming a defense attorney to help Albie with his aspirations of owning a restaurant.

As a defense attorney, one of Luke's strengths is his ability to adapt to changing situations. He is able to come up with new defense strategies on the spot and works well under pressure. Luke also believes strongly in all of his clients and always does everything he can to defend them in a court of law.

Physically, Luke is tall and lanky with thick blonde hair that always manages to look a bit disheveled.
