David nodded. “When do you have to decide?” “I’m seeing Kincaid first thing in the morning.”
Sandra took his hand and said, “You don’t need that much time. Dr. Patterson saved your mother. You’re going to save his daughter.”
She looked around and smiled. “Anyway, we can always do this apartment over in blue and white.”
Jesse Quiller was one of the top criminal defense attorneys in the country.
He was a tall, rugged man with a homespun touch that made jurors identify with him.
They felt that he was one of them, and they wanted to help him. That was one of the reasons he seldom lost a case.
The other reasons were that he had a photographic memory and a brilliant mind.
Instead of vacationing, Quiller used his summers to teach law, and years earlier David had been one of his pupils.
When David graduated, Quiller invited him to join his criminal law firm, and two years later, David had become a partner.
David loved practicing criminal law and excelled at it. He made sure that at least 10 percent of his cases were pro bono.
Three years after becoming a partner, David had abruptly resigned and gone to work for Kincaid, Turner, Rose & Ripley to practice corporate law.
Over the years, David and Quiller had remained close friends. They, and their wives, had dinner together once a week.
