He Does It Again!

In a 2016 well-known fictional thriller, Author John Grisham once again weaves a plot involving the judicial system with an indirect slap at lawyer advertising.

The Whistler involves a crooked judge in Florida who was taking pay from the skim of money from one of the gambling casinos run by a native Indian tribe and controlled by a group of criminals called the “Coast Mafia.”

When one of the judge’s co-conspirators was confronted by Federal Bureau of Investigation agents and forced with the death penalty for his involvement in a murder case he exercised his constitutional right to the assistance of counsel.

Grisham described the defendant’s lawyer on page 290-291 as a “basic ham-and-egg street hustler with two billboards to his name and a practice that yearned for lucrative car wrecks but survived on workers comp and mid-level drug cases.”

Evidently Author John Grisham once again implied a negative viewpoint as to lawyers engaging in legal advertising.

I encourage you to buy local products and hire local, reputable attorneys!
