Wendell Whitney Thorne, Esquire, was (is) an Attorney At Law. He has chosen to leave this august profession, not because he has become disillusioned with the practice of law, or that he can't make a comfortable living to support his growing family. He chose to leave his chosen profession because he discovered it is not; in reality or in practice, a fair and just profession, as it was 100 or so years ago.

Mr. Thorne has written a book that totally strips the legal profession of its mystique, that whatever you as a citizen seeks to obtain or provide for others, MUST go through the osbtacles and hurdles of the LAW. He has unmasked this revered profession by writing this book in language any man or woman (over the age of say, sixteen) can easily understand. Not only does he cover every facet of the laws by which our daily lives are touched, but he draws clear distinction between what the Framers of the Constitution of the United States of America and the Ammendments made thereto over the past two hundred years, but he clarifies in simple English, the Bill of Rights and the clear intent of our Founding Fathers of what role GOD has in our democracy.

I am the grandson of a Judge, nephew of two Judges. I chose not to be a lawyer (because at the time, I didn't think I had what it takes academically). I chose law enforcement, but only for a short time in my life (still wish I had stayed in that profession). I have a Godson whom I suppoted and paid to have a fine education, including Indiana University School of Law (Bloomington). I am very proud of him. I later became Chief Investigator for a prominent Miami (FL) Law firm, specializing in criminal defense. I have worked on two murder cases, and many other high-profile cases. I have always respected the law, and those who uphold it.
Mr. Thorne's book has really opened my eyes! With my background, and understanding of our judicial system, from both civil and criminal parts, I found this book to be the TRUTH, and NOTHING but the TRUTH.
When people talk about a doctor's visit, and receiving 'bad news', they usually get a response like, "get another opinion". I have never heard that when it comes to dealing with one's lawyer. Usually, if things go bad for the person, he or she blames "incompetent lawyer I had."
This book should be REQUIRED READING in every Senior year of high school in our nation. I am surprised the American Bar Association has not filed a motion with some court to have this book "banned". Mr. Thorne has written an expose that is real and easily verifiable by anyone in need of legal advice. I found this book packed with STRAIGHT TALK, and a good measure of humor. I highly recommend it.
