This book is a thrilling account of a person who was raised in poverty and by sheer will of determination overcame impossible obstacles to become an intelligence officer during the Korean War, an honor graduate of Temple University Law School, a prominent assistant DA in Philadelphia, a leading Civil Rights attorney, and a successful advocate for thousands of clients. His description of his childhood during the 1930s Depression and the many jobs he worked at during this period and in his later teen years will amaze the reader.

His love affair with his wife, Kathy, will also pull at the heartstrings of the reader. The reader will especially enjoy the many legal cases that the author describes in detail. From the "poison apple" case that wound up in a lengthy article in "Inside Detective" magazine to his reliance on the legal doctrines of "attractive nuisance" and "fruit of the poisonous tree," the reader will learn some interesting legal principles. The author also relates a detailed description of his tactics in prosecuting as well as defending some murder suspects in cases assigned to him by the Courts. In addition, he gives a detailed description of the many Civil Rights cases he handled as well as his representation of some unique civil cases which garnered extensive media coverage.
