Al Filo de la Ley Debuts @ Univision.

Seeking justice, a brilliant team of Latin lawyers defends the rights of the U.S. Hispanic community in the weekly scripted original prime time dramatic series “Al Filo de la Ley” (“At the Edge of the Law”). Premiering Tuesday, May 4 at 10pm, the one-hour series is a joint effort by Plural Entertainment and the Univision Network and is based on real-life accounts of Hispanics caught in the U.S. judicial system.

“Al Filo de la Ley” is filmed entirely in the U.S. by Plural Entertainment, the production division of Spain’s premier media company, Grupo Prisa. Created specifically for the U.S. Hispanic audience, the series tells the story of a prestigious law firm located in Los Angeles, California, that handles the most difficult immigration, labor, discrimination, and civil and criminal cases.

Leading the cast of dedicated attorneys is Jorge Aravena as “Andres,” Natalia Ramirez as “Barbara,” and Ximena Rubio as “Valeria.”

Each episode presents and gives closure to two “ripped-from-the-headlines” cases while delving into the lives of the sharp-witted, altruistic, but very human attorneys who try them.

The debut episode opens with a patrol unit stopping a suspect vehicle at a gas station. After being told to exit the car, Jessica (guest star Michelle Manterola) innocently reaches in her purse for her cell phone. The officer, who has a history of police brutality, overreacts, shoots and destroys the classical dancer’s knee. Now Andres faces the monumental task of taking on the police department in a very difficult case.

“Al Filo de la Ley” will present TV viewers with real-life reenactments, complex prosecutions, intricate proceedings, and unexpected outcomes. And brings a new sense of realism and drama to the U.S. Hispanic experience. The program will air Tuesdays from 10-11pm ET/PT (9-10pm Central/Mountain), only on Univision, Hispanic America’s favorite TV network.
