Lionel Hutz

Lionel Hutz, who was voiced by Phil Hartman, was an inept ambulance chaser that the Simpsons kept hiring as their lawyer (a fact remarked on by Marge in a typically self-aware aside).

In the episode "Realty Bites", he also turns his hand to selling real estate.

At one point, Hutz renamed himself Miguel Sanchez following some trouble that prompted him to change his identity. At the time of this change of identity, he was babysitting the Simpson children: Bart, Lisa and Maggie. (At some point, he apparently went by the name Nguyen Van Thoc, or possibly Ngyugen Van Falk.)

The character was retired after Hartman's death (by homicide) in 1998, and since then has only appeared in crowd scenes. This has been inconvenient for the show; lawsuits are frequent in The Simpsons and since Hutz was retired, different lawyers have been used to represent the Simpson family each time, such as the Blue Haired Lawyer and Gil. (For example, in Sweets and Sour Marge, Gil steps in.)
