Attorneys and armchair lawyers alike will enjoy accompanying Klaw as she negotiates with opposing counsel, prepares witnesses for testimony, develops her courtroom strategy, argues her case, and keeps her clients in check.Human beings are messy and complicated: we fall in love; we fall out of love; were sometimes vengeful and often honorable.
