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.

Moving and Enjoyable
The Street Lawyer is my favorite of all the John Grisham books. It makes you take a look at the world as it really is and helps you to decide what is important in this life. I have read this book several times and have listened to the audio book. It never fails to invoke feelings. I recommend this book to everyone. It's a good starter book for anyone who has never read John Grisham. It will make you an instant fan!
