DOWNLOAD EBOOKJack Tobin, the main character of The Mayor of Lexington Avenue returns in this non-stop novel that combines enthralling plot twists with some of the best coutroom fiction being written today. Tobin, known as the lawyer's lawyer--the guy the best lawyer's say they'd want to represent them in a courtroom battle--undertakes the representation of a serial killer who he believes to be innocent. The Chief of Police is outraged, the citizens of Oakville where the murders occurred, erupt, and the State Attorney is out for blood as Jack challenges the criminal justice system once again. Sheehan masterfully weaves stories of love and friendship into one man's uncompromising search for truth within the four corners of a courtroom where it is often spoken about but seldom seen. Jack is in a fight for his life and the outcome is in doubt right up to the turn of the final page. A trial lawyer himself, James Sheehan is also a top-notch thriller writer. Once again he succeeds in translating the depth of his courtroom knowledge into an entertaining and truly fascinating read.

To achieve this we gathered some of the best lawyers in Kansas City, Missouri in areas of personal injury, family law, criminal law, employment law, tax law, bankruptcy, etc. We asked these lawyers to put themselves in the place of their clients and write a chapter giving an overview of the types of claims that each potential client could have.

We hope you find this book helpful for any legal problem you may face in Kansas or Missouri. Good luck!

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWith more than forty years in practice, including fourteen years on the federal bench, and informed by hundreds of conversations with other lawyers, Judge Duffey has cultivated a deep interest in the culture and challenges within the legal profession. THE SIGNIFICANT LAWYER is the product of his experiences and conversations. It describes changes in the legal profession beginning in the mid-1980s when lawyers began to measure success by the profits they and their firms generated. Integrity, efficiency, and strong client relationships eroded. Lawyers found themselves professionally unfulfilled. They forgot about their oaths that require civility, commitment to justice, fair play, and respect for the courts. It takes commitment and resolve for a lawyer to live by the oaths taken when admitted to practice and to adopt the right priorities. Choosing this path, an attorney embraces the practice of law as a profession and commits to serve others with integrity, competence, and compassion.
