The entire story can be summarised by the picture of „David vs Goliath“: A young rookie lawyer, who doesn’t even have his license yet in the beginning, up against a big medical insurance company and their hot-shot, big-gun law firm. As someone sick and tired of sleezy, ego-driven lawyers (or law students), reading this book gave me a lot of pleasure. Even though it’s clear that the way this story played out is sadly far from reality, it gave some comfort to get lost in it and believe in justice for once.
