The Common Lawyer




  Product Description

Andy Prescott is the most laid-back young lawyer in Austin, Texas. Specialising in traffic law, he operates from a small room above a ramshackle tattoo parlour. He rides a trail bike and spends way too much time drinking beer in the sunshine. Ambition has never been Andy's strong point - he prefers to take it easy. That is, until one of Texas's wealthiest men walks into his office. On the spot, billionaire Russell Reeves retains Andy as his lawyer and, in exchange for some easy legal work, pays him more money than he has ever earned before. Andy's life is transformed. But nothing comes for free. Russell is a desperate man whose sole aim is to save his eight-year-old son, Zach, who is dying from leukemia. He is prepared to do anything - even if it means putting Andy's life in danger...

Well if you enjoy reading a John Grisham book I believe that you will enjoy this one - but there was not very much legal drama in it.  The story took place outside of the courtroom but involved people of a legal status, hit-men and a very rich man with a dying son.

It was entertainment from start to finish and it was well written - the ending was a little swift for me but the epilogue gave me a teary smile.

I would read another book by Mark Giminez.
