An interesting story of three cases undertaken by a law firm in Dallas, Texas. The partner Stan is involved in a probate case to discover if a recently deceased man in fact had a son, which he claimed when dying. The other partner Paula undertakes the defence of a woman accused of murdering her husband and seeks to find evidence to cast doubt in the minds of a jury of her supposed guilt. Their junior associate is involved with the dangerous case of an unlawful death, probably murder, of a man who worked in a firm employing illegal immigrants, a firm which appears to have a shady history and criminal dealings.
The characters in their professional and private lives seems somehow lacking in appeal to attract interest and sympathy. The story moves at a reasonable pace but readers with a knowledge of the American legal system will probably understand the events and details more clearly.
I award 3 Stars.
