Lionel Hutz is a recurring character from the animated television series The Simpsons. He was voiced by Phil Hartman, and his first appearance was in the season two episode "Bart Gets Hit by a Car". Due to Hartman's death, his final speaking role was in the episode "Realty Bites". Hutz is a local lawyer in Springfield, albeit an incompetent one who is always desperate for cases, few of which he wins.

His legal practice, located in a shopping mall, is named "I Can't Believe It's A Law Firm!" and also offers "expert shoe repair".
