Also, because I forgot to add: I'm comfortable with the whole span of the timeline as well, although pre-game is probably not very likely because Phoenix would've been in Ivy U sneezing away due to forgetting to close his window. I've never tried playing Hobo!Phoenix but I'm willing to give it a shot if you want anything during the seven-year gap between Trials & Tribulations and Apollo Justice; prior to disbarment is fine, too.

(I apologise if this is annoying you or not making any sense - just trying to get things clear first! ♥)
