This series centers on Sally Baynard, a sharp and unconventional attorney in Charleston, South Carolina, who defies traditional Southern expectations. Despite her privileged background and a divorce from a prominent judge, Sally carves her own path as a formidable public defender and family lawyer. With her signature wit, charm, and intelligence, she tackles complex cases ranging from defending murderers to navigating thorny divorce proceedings, proving that she's anything but a typical society lady.
For fans of Marley and Me and Katie Fforde's Paradise Fields, Lawyer for the Dog is Lee Robinson's charming, moving and funny debut novel. Attorney Sally Baynard is baffled when Joe, her judge ex-husband, appoints her to represent the interests of a pet dog - Sherman, a miniature schnauzer - in a divorce case.
Sally Baynard is one of the best lawyers around. In the years since her divorce from Family Court Judge Joe Baynard, she dedicated herself to representing the worst and craziest Charleston, South Carolina, had to offer. But none of the murderers, burglars, or angry divorcing clients compared to Sherman, the dog her ex-husband appointed her to represent. Although the miniature Schnauzer found his way into her heart (and brought his handsome vet Tony along too), his case was a thorny one. With that business out of the way, Sally is happy to move back to non-canine clients . . . until a probate judge asks her about a cat.
