Summary
Brian Felgoise has been practicing class-action law for more than 25 years, and he draws upon his real-world interactions with lawyers, judges and plaintiffs to inform his new, satirical legal thriller with co-author David Tabatsky called Filthy Rich Lawyers, Book One: The Education of Ryan Coleman.
The story begins in a Texas courtroom, where Ryan Coleman, a young, ambitious lawyer from Philadelphia, is chasing his share of a class-action lawsuit involving a multi-national defense contractor. After getting reprimanded by the judge for speaking out of turn, Coleman meets Robert Smalley, a brilliant attorney and borderline criminal who boasts that, “I have the greatest practice of law in the world because I have no clients.” And with that, Coleman is drawn into a hedonistic world of wealth and power at the core of Filthy Rich Lawyers.
Included in the cast of colorful characters is Eugenia “Gene” Cauley, a female shark in the male-dominated legal world whose life spirals tragically out of control, and Randy Hollis, an insanely successful lawyer turned multi-billionaire, who is pursuing his ultimate American dream: buying a professional football team. Coleman becomes Hollis’ “errand boy,” but as Hollis is investigated by journalists, law associations and government agents, Coleman must decide if he wants to remain in this sordid circle.
Federal prosecutor Patrick Coyle wants to take Hollis down because of an old grudge. He aligns with Dick Dickey, former Secretary of Defense and CEO of a military contractor, to ruin Hollis and Coleman. When an escort mysteriously dies in Hollis’ penthouse, Coleman becomes an unwitting accomplice and must choose between protecting his boss and saving his marriage, or telling the truth and risk going to prison.
Filthy Rich Lawyers reveals the surprising ways in which our system of class-action law enables (mostly) men to get ridiculously wealthy and behave like sophomoric frat boys.

My Review
I found that Brian Felgoise and David Tabatsky team did a fantastic job in writing quite the tale in their newest release, Filthy Rich Lawyers: The Education of Ryan Coleman. This book is so different from those I normally read and that made it a fun experience. The humor thrown in all throughout had me laughing out loud often. I never knew what would happen in the scenes to follow. I often kept thinking to myself, “how did they come up with that?” It was entertaining to read. I loved it!
Filthy Rich Lawyers: The Education of Ryan Coleman is getting five stars from me. Readers who looking for a laugh while reading a great story, will want to read this one. I am hoping for more Filthy Rich Lawyers tales to come in the near future from the duo Felgoise and Tabatsky.
I received a digital copy of Filthy Rich Lawyers: The Education of Ryan Coleman from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
