Getting his client off death row could save his career… or make him the next victim. Daniel Pike would rather fight for justice than follow the rules. His unique ability to “connect the dots,” to observe what others do not, has made him the most notorious criminal lawyer in St. Petersburg. But when his courtroom career goes up in smoke, he fears his lifelong purpose is a lost cause. A mysterious … purpose is a lost cause. A mysterious job offer from a secretive boss gives him a second chance but lands him an impossible case with multiple lives at stake…
To protect a young orphan from a horrifying fate, Pike must save the girl’s guardian from a charge of first-degree murder. Dan uses every trick he knows in a high-stakes trial filled with unexpected revelations and breathtaking surprises as he uncovers a trail of deceit from Florida to El Salvador. When blood-soaked threats arrive, Dan realizes that winning the case might be a death sentence for him—and everyone he hoped to protect.
Can Pike protect the girl and get the charges dropped before his race for the truth proves fatal?
The Last Chance Lawyeris a gripping legal thriller. If you like courtroom suspense, page-turning plot twists, and rebel attorneys, then you’ll love William Bernhardt’s riveting drama.

Enjoyed reading it. Good book
Very unconventional story line, likeable protagonist.
This is about a lawyer who gets hired by a mystery man to take the case of a child about to get deported. He has a legal team who were also hired by the same mysterious benefactor.
Didn’t see it coming. Thoroughly enjoyed the courtroom drama.
Bernhart doesn’t need my review. He has been in the business of writing and winning awards for a long time. . His plot could be pulled from the news feed but with an original twist to please the reader.
I will read more of this series. Really enjoyed the read! Thank you.
Liked it so much I bought the next in series right away!!!
This author always produces very readable books that are interesting and enjoyable.
This was the first book I had read by this author! It was a great story and I loved all the characters. I actually went and bought another book after reading this first one and loved it too!
Too political
The plot and ending were very predictable!
Fair
good read
I loved it. This is a great legal thriller that will keep you guessing the entire time. It’s hard to know who to cheer for the characters are so flawed.
Way too saccharine for my taste.
Great court room banter and suspense. I do not like lawyers and I liked the team.
