The Paralegal Speaks

Bol

Meet Martha.She's not a lawyer, nor does she need to be. From her double-sized cubicle in a small-town Washington law office, Martha sees everything, hears everything, and quietly keeps the whole operation from going off the rails-while her boss, Mark Adams, takes all the credit and rakes in the big bucks.This is the story of four cases that land on Martha's desk in a single week: A drunk driver who killed his best friend. An insurance agent who robbed sweet old ladies and called it a paperwork problem. A woman with a bus-related injury in a very personal location. And a disabled man who went into the Kitsap County Jail and came out unable to walk, with no one willing to explain why.None of these cases is the clean, simple, rear-end collision Mark prefers, but they will all test the limits of the law, the patience of everyone involved, and Martha's ability to hold it all together while fielding a phone that never stops ringing.The Paralegal Speaks takes you behind the polished façade of the legal system and into the daily grind of a one-lawyer shop where justice is complicated, outcomes are uncertain, and the truth has a way of hiding in plain sight-usually under a pile of papers on the credenza, inches from the lawyer's elbow.
