The Litigators

Dates Read: November - December 2011
I love Grisham books.  It takes about 100 pages to get into the story, but once I'm into it, I'm stuck and am anxious to finish this book. This story was a little predictable in some parts, but it had some twists and turns as well and the ending was not exactly what I had expected. Good read if you like Grisham's books.

Summary: (summarized from Amazon.com)
The partners at Finley & Figg—all two of them—often refer to themselves as “a boutique law firm.” Boutique, as in chic, selective, and prosperous. They are, of course, none of these things. What they are is a two-bit operation always in search of their big break, ambulance chasers who’ve been in the trenches much too long making way too little. And then change comes their way. More accurately, it stumbles in. David Zinc, a young but already burned-out attorney, walks away from his fast-track career at a fancy downtown firm, goes on a serious bender, and finds himself literally at the doorstep of our boutique firm. Once David sobers up and comes to grips with the fact that he’s suddenly unemployed, any job—even one with Finley & Figg—looks okay to him. With their new associate on board, F&F is ready to tackle a really big case, a case that could make the partners rich without requiring them to actually practice much law. It almost seems too good to be true.
