A Tale of Virtuous Lawyers, "No Really!"

“Shakespeare's famous quote, "First Kill all the Lawyers" is only used partly in jest. Trust for lawyers today is akin to trust in used car salesmen and politicians. The father son team of authors David and Humberto Cancio certainly put Lawyers in a different light in this story from the early 1980's. The story begins when young Lawyer Gabriel Lock leaves the District Attorney's office over a matter of honor and goes to work for his father Thomas. The matter dealt with Gabriel giving his word to a client to take a matter to trial and his boss ordering him to accept a plea deal. Early on there is a sense that Gabriel is an unusual Lawyer. The book is full of many varied incidents of how Gabriel and and his father Thomas serve their clients. Gabriel gains wisdom in doing what's best for the people he represents with the understanding you can't win them all. Sometimes the best an ethical Lawyer can do when every option is bad is be there for the client. The interaction between Gabriel and his father is endearing as well as his strong relationships with his mother and grandmother. Unlike many young men today Gabriel has great friends that he can rely on during tough times. Gabriel is a strong man of God and his faith is display in the story. This book may change your opinion about lawyers.”

Father-Son Duo Authors!!!

“From the very beginning, I felt like I was living inside a lawyer’s mind! Bound by Law isn’t just about one case—it brilliantly moves from one legal battle to another, keeping the pace fresh and exciting while showing the wide scope of the legal world. What makes this book even more special is that it’s written by a father–son duo, and you can feel the heart and perspective they bring to the story. The characters are extremely courageous and Godly, standing firm in their convictions while navigating intense challenges in and out of the courtroom. This novel blends sharp legal drama with faith and resilience, making it both thought-provoking and deeply inspiring. If you’re looking for a story that’s gripping, authentic, and uplifting, Bound by Law is a must-read!”
