The Street Lawyer

The reason I choose this book is because being a law student, when I first came across the book title, “The Street Lawyer”, the book totally aroused my curiosity.

  This story took place in the office of the Washington DC law firm Drake & Sweeney. One day, a homeless man called himself ”Mister”, brought a gun and dynamite and entered the office in order to find who evicted him out of the apartment he rented. Finally, although he was shot by the police sniper, the issue he mentioned has brought attention to Michael Brock, who is one of the lawyers in Drake & Sweeney. Afterwards Michael tried to discover who the man was and uncovered a dangerous secret about Drake and Sweeney.

  In the story, my favorite character is Michael Brock, not only is he the main character and lawyer , but also his justness(dedicated to find the truth of Devon Hardy vs RiverOaks lawsuit) and his non-hankering after fame and gains(given up the opportunity to become the partner of Drake & Sweeney but being a street lawyer) has set me an example of a good lawyer.

  This story is very impressive, as the organization is very good, linking each chapter well  one after another. Moreover, the writer describes all the scenes and characters in detail and vividly, seems they are real life images appearing before my eyes!
