5.0 out of 5 stars The Other Reviewers Are Obviously NOT from Texas!, January 23, 2004

David Smith "texas.road.cyclist" (Houston, Texas) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Lawyer: My Trials and Jubilations (Hardcover)

Mr. Jamail's book is terrific. Yes he's a little full of himself but his results are real and he has accomplished a lot in his legal career. He's also had a few major financial scores that have put him in a very unique class of lawyer. This is a fun book with many stories about individual cases that made an impression on Joe and thus inspired him to fight for his client.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enertaining, January 23, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Lawyer: My Trials and Jubilations (Hardcover)

I found Joe's book entertaining and easy to read. His passion for his clients and job is a trait not held by most in the law profession.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Biography, April 5, 2010

Martin Jerisat (USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Lawyer: My Trials and Jubilations (Hardcover)

This book is an amazing biography of a once in a lifetime super lawyer. Joe talks about his life, trials, and the famous case that made him a household name, Penzzoil v. Texaco. He did include his summation in the Pennzoil case. A summation that got the jury to award 11 Billion dollars judgment. This book is a must read for every aspiring trial lawyer.

1.0 out of 5 stars Jamail is a jerk and his book sucks.
Joe Jamail is an arrogant jerk. He has the audacity to claim he is above the little man and superior. His book sucks and reeks of self-importance.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great, quick read...entertaining
Joe's account of his life is told in the great prose of a trial lawyer. I really liked this book, if you want a look into this "larger than life" man, buy it. You pay!
