Lawyers behaving badly,
By
This review is from: Conflicts with Interest (Paperback)
Conflicts With Interest is a legal thriller that will have you ready to strangle some of the lawyers involved in a frivolous lawsuit over a home that had leaking windows. Just when you think the whole thing can't get any more ridiculous, it does, and to an extent that you might not have imagined. You read about things such as this in the paper but this book lays out the details of how this suit came about and how it proceeds and it just boggles the mind. But you can see from the way it unfolds that this sort of case is something that could happen and is probably why houses cost as much as they do these days.
This was an entertaining read about a builder, T.R. and his son, Ryan who are sued by Steve Sanderson of a law firm called Sinclair, Sanderson and Starr. It's defect litigation for a home they built that could have easily been cleared up without a lawsuit but gets way out of control. The story is set in the San Francisco Bay area and if you've ever lived or spent time there, you'll recognize many of the restaurants and areas of San Francisco and Marin county where the story takes place. It really gives a good sense of the area. Between the several insurance companies involved and the different law firms that get caught up in the suit, it becomes a little confusing at times, but I think Michael Ruddy does a good job of helping us keep the characters straight by making them interesting and very different from one another. It's easy to empathize with the main characters and feel their frustration as the story unfolds. It's the kind of book you can't put down once you get into it.

What Goes On Behind The Scenes,

This review is from: Conflicts with Interest (Paperback)
"Conflicts with Interest" is a great read. From the first page to the last word, I found it exciting, entertaining and enlightening. It exposes the layers of unethical insurance companies and lawyers that are enmeshed when a construction defects lawsuit is brought against a small homebuilder by an opportunistic homeowner whose famous self-serving attorney is out for blood. It was fascinating to learn the legal ramifications of a simple construction defect.
Easy reading. Good character depictions. Great plot and subplots. Suspenseful. Can't believe it was that author's first work.
