The Street Lawyer by John Grisham

Michael Brock is a successful litigation partner at one of Washington D.C.'s most prestigious law firms. His comfortable life changes dramatically when a homeless man dies in his office building, prompting him to question everything he's worked for.

Driven by conscience, Michael leaves his lucrative practice to defend the city's most vulnerable residents. As a street lawyer, he confronts the brutal realities of poverty and homelessness while taking on cases that matter—even when they don't pay.

This gripping novel explores themes of redemption, justice, and the true measure of a lawyer's worth. John Grisham masterfully weaves courtroom drama with social commentary, delivering a powerful story about finding purpose beyond wealth and status.
