Tax Lawyer Soars: From Outside the Offices of Fairweather, Winters & Sommers (Law Firm Mismanagement Book 4)

Everybody has something to do with lawyers, but few of us get our day in court — or even in a law firm — to say how we feel. In this collection of law firm humor, Kanter lets us see lawyers from the point of view of their clients and other outsiders. He shares with us the humorous perspectives of everyone from clients, jurors, and accountants, to the mother of a new associate trying to drum up business for her "little girl," a homeless person caught in a lawyer's well-meaning scheme to make him a charitable corporation, and the child of a two-lawyer couple who can't run a lemonade stand without everything becoming a major issue.

From the clients' perspective, the book offers a unique insight into the often-frustrating relationship between lawyers and their clients. Kanter captures the exasperation of clients who feel their lawyers are more interested in lining their own pockets than in serving their clients' best interests. The jurors' experiences provide a humorous take on the legal system, with its convoluted procedures and the often-bizarre behavior of lawyers.

The accountants' viewpoint adds a touch of dry wit, as they struggle to make sense of the financial machinations of law firms. The mother of the new associate, meanwhile, is a delightful character, desperate to help her daughter succeed in the cutthroat world of law, but hilariously out of her depth.

The homeless person caught in the lawyer's scheme is a poignant and thought-provoking figure, highlighting the complexities of the legal system and the unintended consequences of well-meaning interventions. And the child of the two-lawyer couple is a hilarious and relatable character, struggling to navigate the chaos of a household where everything is a potential legal battle.

Throughout the book, Kanter's writing is sharp, insightful, and consistently funny. He has a keen eye for the absurdities of the legal profession, and a talent for capturing the human foibles and frustrations that underlie the often-dry world of the law.

As Scott Turow notes in his endorsement, "No one in the United States who writes about life and the law is funnier than Arnold B. Kanter." This collection of law firm humor is a must-read for anyone who has ever had to deal with the legal system, whether as a client, a juror, or a legal professional.
