The Arkansas Lawyer is a meticulously detailed account of one family's long and frustrating sojourn through the loopholes, disappointments and deceits of a labyrinthine legal system, in innocent pursuit of an equitable estate disbursement according to their beloved uncle's documented financial wishes. Anyone who has ever had to endure the injustice of our current court system, which focuses more on ""what is legal"" than ""what is right,"" will draw comfort from this well-written case in point. Beginning with a glimpse into the lives of a family the reader will come to truly care about, and moving on to an unintentional clerical error compounded by a corporation's unscrupulous moves to cover their ass-ets, a well-intentioned lawyer's early misunderstanding of a simple situational fix, the lower court judge's careless findings, state Supreme Court efforts to countermand those rulings, monies unjustly obtained and devoured by greedy in-laws, and ultimately the whisking away of a large portion of an inheritance by an incomprehensibly self-serving attorney, this account is fast-paced and never dull. The story is backed with revealing email chains and court documents that will be of interest to laymen and legal professionals alike. Join The Arkansas Lawyer on a unique roller coaster ride through a prevalent and important aspect of our lives
