COUNTRY LAWYER is the Buddy Road Trip of Rural Law Memoirs: A Charming, Funny, and Tenderhearted Look at How Law Impacts Ordinary Lives
08 Agosto 2024 - 10:00AM
In the little village of Shortsville, New York sits a tiny office
that is home to the Zimmerman and Tyo law firm. Their stellar
online reviews tell part of the story: that the men who have served
there are the best kind of people—that they are for their
community; for their clients; honest and straightforward attorneys
who cater to the needs of everyday citizens, regardless of wealth
or status.
John E. Tyo, Esq. retired from the firm earlier this year. He
has now made it a part of his team’s legacy to tell the rest of the
story: how his career manifested; how the firm came to be; how rare
and special it is to faithfully spend one’s life pouring out grace
and justice with a simple dedication to do good. Tyo’s memoir,
Country Lawyer: Last of a Dying Breed, is a rare kind of memoir,
too. It isn’t flashy celebrity fare or an ostentatious, brooding
portrait of true crime. But it owes no apologies: It is a story
about people—real people—who commit their lives to building a
community and making it better. The book takes readers into the
heart of a rural law office, where stories unfold that range from
funny to thrilling to heartwarming. Perfect for law students, fans
of cozy memoirs, and anyone with an interest in understanding how
law affects ordinary people in the day-to-day, the book
demonstrates the power of building authentic relationships with
teammates and clients, and the ways we can be a change just by
quietly delighting in the places we call home.
Country Lawyer: Last of a Dying Breed is available for purchase
online at Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com. For more information
