CHEAT TWEET: Jersey Girl, Martina Garretti makes her mark @ a big prestigious NYC law firm, on @MadeInJerseyCBS premiering @9p 9/28 http://bit.ly/NsCpQ3

 

"Pilot" — After voicing her opinion in a company staff meeting, Martina makes a good impression on her boss, Donovan Stark, who assigns her third chair on a murder case involving a student accused of killing her professor.  Meanwhile, at home, Martina's niece comes to her to help convince her mother to allow her to get a tattoo, on the series premiere of MADE IN JERSEY, Friday, Sept. 28 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.  

MADE IN JERSEY is a drama about a young working-class woman who uses her street smarts to compete among her pedigreed Manhattan colleagues at a prestigious New York law firm.  Martina Garretti finds her firm’s cutthroat landscape challenging, but what she lacks in an Ivy League education she more than makes up for with tenacity and blue-collar insight. After just a few weeks, firm founder Donovan Stark, takes note of Martina’s ingenuity and resourcefulness, as does her sassy secretary Cyndi Vega, and River, a former LAPD detective turned firm investigator.  With the support of her big Italian family, including her sexy older sister Bonnie, Martina is able to stay true to her roots as a bold, passionate lawyer on the rise in a new intimidating environment.
