Street Lawyer
Street Lawyer | John Grisham
3 posts | 54 read | 13 to read
Michael was in a hurry. He was scrambling up the ladder at Drake & Sweeney, a giant D.C. law firm with eight hundred lawyers. The money was good and getting better; a partnership was three years away. He was a rising star with no time to waste, no time to stop, no time to toss a few coins into the cups of panhandlers. No time for a conscience. But a violent encounter with a homeless man stopped him cold. Michael survived; his assailant did not. Who was this man? Michael did some digging, and learned that he was a mentally ill veteran who'd been in and out of shelters for many years. Then Michael dug a little deeper, and found a dirty secret, and the secret involved Drake & Sweeney. The fast track derailed; the ladder collapsed. Michael bolted the firm and took a top-secret file with him. He landed in the streets, an advocate for the homeless, a street lawyer. And a thief. From the Hardcover edition.

This book addresses a mixture of social issues some of which will be triggering. This book gives the reader an idea of what is like to be in poverty and discriminated against or being abused. After a traumatic experience, he decides to dedicate his life to help the unfortunate, and faces problems that go along with it. There is a triggering nsfw scene, but I liked everything else in a an I feel sorry the unfortunate, but liked the writing way

JohnLAndBenji The nsfw scene shows men how traumatic *censored* is with her crying for an hour. (edited) 10mo
