Review of
Accidents: A Legal Misadventure, by Phillip Rohlin ISBN 9781478718543
Four out of five stars
Cast of weird characters in the legal profession
This story features
some very unusual, if not psychotic, lawyers. Tim is an expert in music; he is
able to identify the specific press of a vinyl album after only a short time
listening to it. He also once deliberately ate glass in his closing argument to
prove to a jury that a plaintiff that claimed great bodily injury due to a few
shards of glass in food was lying. There is Jackie (the Fatman) who regularly
has his genitals tightly in his hand when he is in conference with clients or
negotiating over the phone. The Fatman keeps lush plants on his desk so that
clients he is in conference with cannot get a good look at him. The Fatman also
forms a religion based on psyllium and chia seeds that successfully pass
through his entire digestive tract. He carries a jar of those seeds with him
and is quite proud of it. Rich is another lawyer that befriends a toothless
woman called the Blooze, pimping her out for oral sex. He has found that
negotiations with others go much better after they have had a round with the
Blooze. Some of the females also discover that the Blooze has other talents as
well.
One of other
characters is Doctor O, an M. D. that cooperates with the lawyers in sham
personal injury cases and that refers to his large male anatomy as the Klaina.
He makes sure that as many women know about it as possible so that he can make
sure that as many as possible are eager to interact with it. Master Lee is an
enigmatic martial arts expert that no one crosses without being subject to
serious retribution. Levonne owns a car towing company, and he helps recruit
clients for the unscrupulous lawyers and doctors to develop fraudulent personal
injury cases. Henry Miller, the author of “Tropic of Cancer” also appears and
he is known for his games of Ping Pong with beautiful young women where both of
them are nude.
Given this list of
weird characters, the reader should be convinced that unusual things happen in
this story, while the list above gives away a little of the storyline, there is
lots more beyond that. All I have done here is set the stage.
