When I walk my dog in the morning and again in the evening, there is a 99 percent chance I’ll have a brush with the law in my neighborhood.
First I go by Michael’s house. He’s the senior member of the neighborhood firm, a sole practitioner who, it turns out, knows his way around Hollywood in ways no one would ever guess.
Next door to him is attorney Dave, my liberal minded, wild-eyed sports buddy.
Around the corner is Jim, who spent years as an attorney before becoming a law professor and administrator.
JAMES SHEEHAN audio excerpt: "The Lawyer's Lawyer opens with serial killings. But the major thrust of the book is when Jack Tobin becomes involved in the case. Is he going to represent a serial killer on death row? Jack has always believed that the people that he represented were innocent, even if he wasn't sure. Here, he's saddled with a moral question. What if he's wrong? What are the ramifications of it?"Order The Mayor of Lexington Avenue by James Sheehan, available from Amazon.com by clicking on the book cover above!

And one house over from Jim is Lance, a sheriff’s deputy and fellow dog owner. Good friends and good neighbors all.
Jim, by the way, might be better know to fans of legal fiction as James Sheehan, author of bestselling novels such as The Mayor of Second Avenue and The Law of Second Chances.
We talk often about our respective projects and the ups and downs of writing books.
About two years ago, I was honored to get an early look at an upcoming Sheehan story in development and earlier this year got to see his latest, The Lawyer’s Lawyer, in galley form.
If you were a fan of Jim’s first two books and the entanglements of fictional Florida attorney Jack Tobin, you’ll be pleased to know he returns to action in The Lawyer’s Lawyer. And if you’ve never read Sheehan before but like the high-octane thrillers of John Grisham, Michael Connelly, James Grippando and Scott Turow, it will be well worth your time and money to order a few of Mr. Sheehan’s fine works.
(By the way, you can find Mr. Media interviews with Connelly, Grippando and Turow at MrMedia.com.)
