Dean Pomfrey was a lawyer who worked for Mellor Broadbent Solicitors, alongside Maya Sharma. When Dev Alahan first caught sight of Maya in Roy's Rolls when she was visiting her clients, the Croppers, he was instantly attracted to her and made an appointment to see her on the pretext of a matter concerning a tenancy agreement. Maya neatly side-stepped the contrivance and, stating that she didn't deal with tenancy law, changed the appointment so that Dev saw the far less attractive Mr Pomfrey. Dev span out his appointment as much as he could, while all the time keeping an eye of Maya through the open office door. Making an excuse to go to the gents', he asked Maya for a date and when he was rebuffed, told Dean that he was leaving and wouldn't be making use of his firm again!
