Defense Lawyer Con dential gives unique insights into the criminal defense world, sharing examples of the day-to-day as well as the underlying passion in representing individuals accused of a crime.

Some of the stories are funny, some are tragic, but they are all true. Anyone that has ever wondered what it is really like to be a criminal defense lawyer will enjoy this book.
