Throughout the world, the justice system is a part of the government's propaganda, and it sounds good if only it always won. Does the truth always prevail in court? The Lawyer's Angel is a tale of seeking justice, truth, and acceptance over the exploitation of powerful people. In his debut novel, The Lawyer's Angel, Scott Allen Benkie unveils the true nature of a legal resolution. This is a legal thriller that portrays the court's real process. 

After his wife's death, James Crosson tried to avoid the emptiness of his beloved wife by playing at a casino, but with no success. The Vegas goons are on to him. One day, James was hired by a widow to investigate her husband's death involving the Move-It-Express tow truck. The owner of the trailer wanted to preserve the image of the company by hiding all its wrongdoing schemes. The lawyer was threatened. How did the lawyer get out of all the death threats? Moreover, James' personal life was entangled in three factors. First, his declining law practice, followed by his casino enemies and adversaries of his client. Will the lawyer defend his dying law firm? How can he prove that the trailer has defects during its use, despite the tactics of its multiple opponents? Is it real if there's an angel? How can the lawyer solve the case mysteriously?

The best thing I like about this novel is the background of the characters. Readers will notice that the characters are well presented in connection with the twisting of the plot, and it is easy to follow from its diversity. Number two on my list is the dramatic judicial case. It's dramatized in a simple way that even a layperson or a fourth grader would understand. Last but not least, the essence of friendship with people and animals is very beautiful and touching. On the other hand, I least like the scenario where there is blood. 

The Lawyer's Angel deserves a 4 out of 4 stars rating. Why? It has an excellent third-person storytelling stream with a good writing style. Hence, it looks professionally edited because I only see minor errors. I am not lost between the main character, the supporting characters, and the opponents. The emotion of the protagonist is easily understood as it projects the greatest hope beyond the enormous difficulties. I observed that the supporting characters are well-crafted in putting a clear emphasis on the protagonist's plot while the opponents are made in a realistic manner. 

I recommend this novel for those who enjoy legal thrillers, suspense, and drama. The novel includes profane words, bloody scenes, and other explicit scenarios that are not suitable for minor audiences. A lawyer or an aspiring lawyer will benefit from this book due to the lawyer's strategies in attempting to resolve a case.

There appears to be much to like in this novel. The fact that James is dealing with his wife’s demise only adds to the drama regarding the casino and his job as investigator. Perhaps this is a natural addition to his law practice, and a way to save it.

This novel is a thumbs up for me. For one I believe justice must always prevail even though it is attained at a price. The lawyer goes through much from loosing a loved one to death threats. And he tries everything possible to get what he wants

[Jennifer Coxon]

The story has many appealing factors including the character development that has taken place. I’m already a big fan of the legal drama genre.

This seems like a sophsisticated legal thriller that features well-constructed characters involved in an intense plot. Thank you for your great review!
