Ronan Truman

Ronan Truman was a man who had made a career dealing in class-A drugs but who had so far managed to evade justice thanks to the work of Walmsley Croft Solicitors LLP of Weatherfield.

Adam Barlow went for a job interview there in February 2017 having abandoned the idea of setting up his own legal firm using a drugs stash brought innocently into the country by Rosie Webster as his start-up capital and not wanting the hard graft of re-sitting his legal exams in his home country, having already qualified in his time living in Canada.

His interview was postponed in order that Bernard Walmsley could deal with Mr Truman's latest arrest and Adam was intrigued enough by the man when he arrived at the office to take receptionist Trina Robson out for a drink to pump her for information. Hearing of Truman's success in operating without convictions, Adam changed his mind about joining a legitimate firm, or having to work for anyone else and resolved to be his own boss from now onwards.
