The Trial Lawyer — John Ellsworth

Killen Erwin slumps on the other side of the desk, silently waiting for his longtime friend to respond. It's not a question of whether Thaddeus wants to help, but whether he can. Thad barely survived last week's savage attack, and for the first time ever he's feeling unsure of his abilities in front of a jury. Now, Killen's life has fallen apart: his wife is brazenly sleeping around, he's facing charges for driving drunk and causing a death, and a special prosecutor is hell-bent on destroying him. Will Thaddeus have any strength left to defend a friend? And in the face of such brutality, will he even be able to make a difference?
