I got you bro

[hhtt21]

"I got you bro, I passed my bar exam. Keep your money, this is for believing in me."

This is from a court, scene. I person is in a trial, and (probably) his brother is an attorney and is ready for defend him. The attorney entered in the court in a hurry and his brother is standing trial.

"Bro" doesn't mean "brother". It means something like "friend".

What does "I got you bro" means?

"Bro" doesn't mean "brother". It means something like "friend".

Client's and attorney's surnames are the same.

'bro' is a term that originated in the African-American community in the US. It doesn't necessarily mean that the two people are biologically related, but it does imply brotherhood with one's own. The term has been adopted by some 'whites'. It isn't clear to me if, in this case, the two are related or not.

Here, "I got you, bro" appears to mean "I've got you covered, bro. Now that I've passed the bar I can defend you." They could actually be brothers.

I am not familiar with "I've got you + done." Would someone please give a link about it or give its name.

Please note how to write a question.

"I got you, bro" could be rephrased as "I'll take care of this matter for you, friend." Both "I got you" and "bro" are slang.

The things are still quite perplexing for me. Do you rephrase it as in the above because I got somebody or I got means "take case something for someone" or do you interpret it so, based on the context?

In current American slang, I got you can mean "I'll take care of a matter that's bothering you," and I got this means "I'll take care of this matter."
