About this book

"By Advice of Counsel" by Arthur Cheney Train is a legal drama written in the early 20th century. The story intricately weaves the challenges faced by attorney firms, particularly focusing on the actions and misdeeds within the judicial system of the time. The narrative introduces several characters, including young Tony Mathusek, wrongfully accused of breaking a window, and the unscrupulous lawyers who navigate the intricacies of the law for their gain. At the start of the work, readers are thrust into a tumultuous scene where Tony, an innocent teen, is mistakenly arrested by Officer Delany after a brick incident stemming from a local street confrontation. The story sets the stage for a deeper exploration into the legal drama surrounding Tony's case, touching on the interplay between law enforcement and the legal profession. The opening presents various characters, including Mr. Tutt, who becomes vital to Tony’s defense, highlighting the corruption and complexities of legal proceedings in their fight for justice. The intertwining narratives of manipulation and wrongful accusation suggest a critique of societal norms and the legal system's inequalities.
