Synopsis

Davy Jessie seems to have everything going for him. He’s a young personal injury lawyer working at a top Houston law firm. He has won a few cases on his own and has had the opportunity to work closely with the firm’s flashy senior partner, Tim Sullivan.Sullivan is a brilliant lawyer. His undeniable gift for delivering an elegant turn of phrase, coupled with his bon vivant lifestyle, make him the center of attention wherever he goes. He’s a man of the world who travels through life with near-mystifying facility. His charisma, command, and poise make him a role model for everything that an aspiring attorney should want in life—at least in the impressionable young minds of the junior associates who are all too willing to overlook his glaring flaws. Is Davy Jessie also about to fall under his hypnotic spell?As Jessie’s orbit draws nearer to Sullivan’s shining star, the inalterable forces of tragedy are set in motion. The two men will ultimately be set at odds while Jessie’s family, career, and life careen into a downward spiral.A Minor Fall is a frightening, sometimes humorous account of the emotional and moral paralysis that beset this well-intentioned young man when he is called upon to account for his actions and make a difficult decision. As the story unfolds, the book also contemplates such existential matters as the nature of law, the existence of God, and the virtues of single malt scotch.

Goodreads review by Cheryl

I was hyped to start reading this book. After having recently finished reading, The Outsider by Anthony Franze. However, this book fell short as it did not deliver the big punch that I was hoping for. Right from the beginning, I liked Davy's enthusiasm to want to follow in his idol's footsteps. Alth......more

“A Minor Fall,” a legal procedural novel by highly credentialed attorney Price Ainsworth, has a much more precipitous descent in its storyline than the title would indicate.

Goodreads review by Shannon

Our main character, Davy, is a personal injury trail lawyer, who stats right in the beginning of the story that he "learned how to try personal injury lawsuits by watching Tim Sullivan try personal injury lawsuits." Davy is actually married his mentor Tim's daughter, Michelle. Although this book is......more
