Justice For None – A Legal Thriller

When the system is rigged, who will pay the price for truth?

Investigative journalist Danny Reeves has uncovered something that shouldn't exist: a pattern. In the courtroom of respected Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Albert Thornwell, gang members walk free while their victims wait for justice that never comes.

Deputy District Attorney Jennifer Park has lost one too many slam-dunk cases in Thornwell's courtroom. As she documents the impossible pattern of dismissals, she realizes she’s stumbled into something far more dangerous than judicial bias—a sprawling corruption network that reaches into the highest levels of law enforcement.

A pulse-pounding legal thriller about the courage it takes to fight corruption and the devastating cost of pursuing justice.

Beyond the Evidence – A Legal Thriller

Wilson Branson spent thirty-eight years defending the accused in Phoenix courtrooms before finally hanging up his briefcase. Four years of golf and quiet mornings seemed like enough—until a 6:30 AM phone call shatters his carefully constructed peace.

His fourteen-year-old grandson Peter has been arrested for shooting a classmate at school. The evidence looks damning: Peter was found at the scene, the victim's blood on his clothes, a weapon nearby. The police have their suspect. The prosecutor has an easy conviction. Everyone believes Peter is guilty.

Everyone except Wilson.
