If You're In My Office, It's Already Too Late. James Sexton knows this. After dealing with over 1000 clients whose marriages have dissolved over everything from an ill-advised threesome with the nanny to the uneven division of carpool duties, he also knows all of the what- not-to-dos for couples who want to build - and consistently work to preserve - a lasting, fulfilling relationship. Described by former clients as a "courtroom gunslinger" and "the sociopath you want on your side", Sexton tells the unvarnished truth about relationships. These usually derive from dishonest communication.

Mickey Haller is a Lincoln lawyer, a criminal defence attorney who operates out of the back of his car, a Lincoln, taking whatever cases the system throws in his path. He's been in the business a long time, and he knows just how to work it. When a Beverly Hills rich boy is arrested for brutally beating a woman, Haller has his first high-paying client in years. The evidence mounts on the defence's side, and Haller might even be in the rare position of defending a client who is actually innocent.

I’m not the type of girl who picks up a man on a rooftop bar — not the type who lets a man’s hands roam my body, discovering I have no panties on, never the girl who has hours’ worth of o’s from a smoking-hot one-night stand. But Dominick makes it so easy to say yes. His body, his moves, and his oh-so-wicked tongue have me saying it over and over again. Yes, please. Yes, more. Yes, right there. He worships every inch of my body, and I’m still sore the next morning when I meet him again.

Mickey Haller is a Lincoln Lawyer, a criminal defense attorney who operates out of the backseat of his Lincoln Town Car, traveling between the far-flung courthouses of Los Angeles to defend clients of every kind. Bikers, con artists, drunk drivers, drug dealers - they're all on Mickey Haller's client list. For him, the law is rarely about guilt or innocence; it's about negotiation and manipulation. Sometimes it's even about justice.

Just how do you become a barrister? And why do only one per cent of those who study law succeed in joining this mysteriously opaque profession? If it’s such a great occupation, how come you work 100-hour weeks for less than minimum wage? And why might a practising barrister come to feel the need to reveal the lies, secrets, failures and crises at the heart of this world of wigs and gowns? Nothing but the Truth charts an outsider’s progress down the winding path towards practising at the Bar,

A successful former defense attorney exposes the raw truth about the courtroom “game” and a career spent defending the guilty. As an advocate for the accused in Newark, New Jersey, criminal lawyer Seymour Wishman defended a vast array of clients, from burglars and thieves to rapists and murderers. Many of them were poor and undereducated, and nearly all of them were guilty. But it was not Wishman’s duty to pass moral judgment on those he represented. His job was to convince a jury to set his clients free or, at the very least, to impose the most lenient punishment permissible by law.

Haller is a Lincoln Lawyer, a criminal defense pro who operates out of the backseat of his Lincoln Town Car, to defend clients at the bottom of the legal food chain. It's no wonder that he is despised by cops, prosecutors, and even some of his own clients. But an investigator is murdered for getting too close to the truth and Haller quickly discovers that his search for innocence has taken him face to face with a kind of evil as pure as a flame.

Er ist mein Boss und treibt mich in den Wahnsinn. Aber während einer gemeinsamen Reise sprühen die Funken zwischen uns ... Madison. Mein Chef bringt mich zum Rande der Verzweiflung! Aufgeblasen, arrogant, kalt und unhöflich beschreibt ihn am besten. Doch mit seinen stahlblauen Augen, dem muskulösen Körperbau und dem falschen(!) charmanten Lächeln gehört er zu den begehrtesten Junggesellen der Stadt. Wenn die Leute nur wüssten ... Und jetzt muss ich ihn auch noch nach Hawaii begleiten. Eine Woche mit ihm auf engen Raum.

Skrupellos. Eiskalt. Und der begehrteste Junggeselle New Yorks. Das ist Luke Brandon, der Mann, der keine Frau länger als drei Nächte in sein Bett lässt. Bis er auf Eleanore York trifft, die sture Schönheit will nämlich um keinen Preis unter ihm liegen. Zumindest nicht, so lange sie für ihn mit ihrer Partnervermittlung eine würdige Verlobte suchen soll. Dieses Unterfangen erweist sich als äußerst schwierig, denn der charismatische Anwalt hat seine ganz eigenen Vorstellungen davon, wie seine zukünftige Frau zu sein hat. Wenn Leidenschaft auf Vorurteile trifft.

"Schön, dass du hier bist", wiederholt er. "Du weißt, warum", sage ich. "Um mich kennzulernen." "Um dir eine Frau zu suchen", korrigiere ich ihn. "Was, wenn ich sie schon gefunden habe?" Anna Leighton ist die erfolgreichste Partnervermittlerin in Los Angeles. Für ihre Kunden findet sie die große Liebe. Immer. Privat hat sie weniger Glück. Die Art Mann, die sie sucht, scheint nicht zu existieren. Denkt sie! Bis der Anwalt Sebastian Knight sie engagiert, um für ihn die Frau fürs Leben zu finden. Denn Sebastian ist nicht nur ein Gentleman mit guten Manieren - er weckt in ihr völlig unerwartet tiefe Gefühle.

Peter Mein Image als Professor der Columbia University ist makellos, auch wenn ich mich in gewissen Clubs gerne mal gehenlasse. Zumindest bis einer meiner One-Night-Stands plötzlich wieder auftaucht und ein kleines Mädchen bei mir abliefert. Meine Tochter.

Two murder trials were held in Toronto in the spring of 1962, only 19 days apart. The accused man in each trial, one a pimp accused of stabbing a fellow pimp to death, the other a thief who killed a policeman in a shootout, were the last two men to be hanged in Canada. Toronto criminal lawyer Ross Mackay was the counsel for the accused in both trials, a mere 30 years old when he lost them both to the gallows. But the trials were far from the last times that Mackay defended accused murderers in the most horrendous circumstances.

He has no firm, no partners, no associates, and only one employee: his driver, who's also his bodyguard, law clerk, confidant, and golf caddy.
