Summary
Phoenix Wright is an amazingly talented rookie (now veteran) defense attorney. He has never lost a single case, except for one, where his client truly was guilty.
His first day on the job was tough on him, and the second case was even worse, as his employer had been murdered, and her younger sister was convicted of the murder, thus, it was all up to him.
What motivated him to become a defense attorney was, oddly enough, his rival prosecutor, Miles Edgeworth. One day during fourth grade, Wright was accused of stealing the lunch money of a classmate, that being Miles Edgeworth. Due to the lack of an alibi, everyone assumed Wright was the culprit; but Edgeworth and another classmate, Larry Butz, came to his defense. Edgeworth asserted that Wright could not be proven guilty without evidence. The three became inseparable friends after that, until the day when Edgeworth was forced to move far away from his friends.

- Transition: Phoenix can swap between the Investigation & Trial modes at any time.
- Turnabout: By landing an “Objection!” & having three good pieces of evidence, Phoenix will enter Turnabout mode for roughly 20 seconds. After that, he returns to Investigation mode. In Turnabout mode, he can use any evidence thus far & all of his skills.
- Speech Bubbles: Phoenix shouts these, & he has two.
