HOW I FELT ABOUT THIS BOOK:
Everyone wants to feel like justice is fair for all. Being a minority I know like most of the world knows that justice is not fair or equal. The problem is those who we trust to fight for us know it as well but most will not go against the grain to fight for us.

Richard Zitrin gets it!!

Trial lawyer is about a lawyer who spent the bulk of his career fighting for those who cannot fight for themselves. Richard Zitrin understood that in most situations, minorities and the poor cannot only afford proper representation, but still may not get a fair shake if they did.

The stories he tells in this book are true and raw. Pointing out the wrongs in the legal system and how he fought to do his part to correct that. You feel this in the first story he tells about the San Quentin 6. Every citizen and every lawyer needs to read this book. If I were ever in need of a lawyer, Richard Zitrin would be the one I would call.

No matter what side of the justice argument you are on, do yourself a favor and read this book! I think everyone can learn a thing or two from it!!

I really enjoyed this memoir by Richard Zitrin! As a young lawyer myself, I really appreciated the insight into Zitrin's 40 year career as a trial lawyer. The systemic racism and elitism in our justice system is always so heart-wrenching to read about but so necessary. I tend to prefer to listen ton non-fiction books but found myself really captivated by this one in physical-form! Thanks to the publisher for the advanced copy! Highly recommend for anyone interested in hearing about our court systems from the inside.

This is a great book if you're really into nonfictions about law and justice, but I couldn't manage to finish this book as I expected; I hope one day I would pick it up again. Richard Zitrin is an "ethical lawyer" and constantly fighting for the less privileged clients. This book tells how he made his journey and shares his opinions on "justice" in the courtroom. I like this book as far as I read, and I think what the author has done to make the world better should be seen by more people!

If you love nonfiction books about law, trials and battling uphill you will definitely love this book. I was given this book by net galley and I am leaving this review voluntarily. please forgive any grammatical or punctuational errors, I am blind and dictate my review. I recently learned the difference between an ethical man and a moral man is an ethical man knows what is right in the moral man does what is right. After reading this book I think The author Richard Zitron, is an ethical and a moral lawyer. He defended a black panther from the Saint Quintin six, a Vietnamese alleged murderer and Max who had just had enough with police and being wrongfully accused and I found in all his cases he gave it his all and then some. This book was really good, although they did have parts that weren’t as interesting as the court cases it all hair appointment. I was sorry to hear that his mentor David Mayer had shot him self and it was all due to the stress of trying to write so many rolls in the penal system. This lawyer has changed so much about the legal system he works in and I would be remiss not to mention who works in one of the most expensive counties in America and he defends mainly minority accused. So if he isn’t fighting with the world against him I don’t know who is. I thought this book was well told and very interesting and found it hard to put down.
