Questa serie è incentrata su Sally Baynard, un'avvocatessa acuta e non convenzionale di Charleston, South Carolina, che sfida le tradizionali aspettative del Sud. Nonostante il suo background privilegiato e il divorzio da un giudice di spicco, Sally si ritaglia la propria strada come formidabile difensore d'ufficio e avvocato di famiglia. Con il suo caratteristico ingegno, fascino e intelligenza, affronta casi complessi che vanno dalla difesa di assassini alla gestione di spinosi procedimenti di divorzio, dimostrando di essere tutt'altro che una tipica signora della società.
For fans of Marley and Me and Katie Fforde's Paradise Fields, Lawyer for the Dog is Lee Robinson's charming, moving and funny debut novel. Attorney Sally Baynard is baffled when Joe, her judge ex-husband, appoints her to represent the interests of a pet dog - Sherman, a miniature schnauzer - in a divorce case.
Sally Baynard is one of the best lawyers around. In the years since her divorce from Family Court Judge Joe Baynard, she dedicated herself to representing the worst and craziest Charleston, South Carolina, had to offer. But none of the murderers, burglars, or angry divorcing clients compared to Sherman, the dog her ex-husband appointed her to represent. Although the miniature Schnauzer found his way into her heart (and brought his handsome vet Tony along too), his case was a thorny one. With that business out of the way, Sally is happy to move back to non-canine clients . . . until a probate judge asks her about a cat.
