The biggest part I don't get

How did Sam (Matt Dillon) know to go to hire Ken (Bill Murray) as his defense attorney?

Remember the end-credit scene with Suzie and Ken--they had it set up from the get go (Ken was hip to Suzie's end-game). But none of that would have worked had Sam not gone to Ken to hire him.

Maybe I missed it, like Suzie dropping a hint somewhere ...

Eh?

Suzie was manipulating everyone. She probably recommended Sam go to that specific lawyer.

I think that’s why the film often has a third character around (Kelly’s car-washing friend, Ken’s secretary) so that the main characters have to keep up appearances before their true nature’s are finally revealed to the audience.

But yeah, Suzie was pupeteering everything and would have instructed Sam to hire Ken.
