Law and Disorder (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781939116970)

In the tradition of John Grisham, from radio talk show host and "America's lawyer" Mike Papantonio, comes Law and Disorder, a highly suspenseful legal thriller in which a Florida attorney finds the system working against him.Brash, brilliant, handsome Nicholas Deketomis has a respected, high-profile career as a lawyer protecting the rights of the innocent while winning multibillion-dollar lawsuits from the powers that be. "Deke" may have come from the wrong side of the tracks but he's built a wonderful life for his close-knit family. He and his wife, Teri, and their two children share a beautiful home in a seaside community along the Florida Panhandle.But their comfortable life is endangered. In the midst of a high stakes, contentious multimillion- dollar suit against a formidable pharmaceutical company, Deke finds himself targeted by powerful political opponents prepared to destroy him and his family. Scheming against him are a local Bible-thumping preacher, an ambitious district attorney, and two malicious brothers running one of the country's largest oil corporations. A conspiracy is hatched to bring down Deketomis. Setting him up with a bogus murder conviction would solve many of their problems.Deke's in the trial of his life, which quickly becomes a media circus. But this good man will not go down without a bruising fight-especially when he finds his family threatened. And just as it seems that his enemies may have him cornered, his friends in low places might count the most.Mike Papantonio is a senior partner of Levin Papantonio. It is one of the largest plaintiffs' law firms in America, and has handled thousands of mass tort cases throughout the nation including pharmaceutical drug litigation, tobacco litigation, and securities fraud actions. "Pap" has received dozens of multimillion-dollar verdicts on behalf of victims of corporate corruption.
