Title: Civil warrior
Description: Guy Saperstein grew up in the 1960s and was deeply involved in civil rights work from an early age. As a lawyer, Mr. Saperstein dedicated his professional life to social causes. In a "David against Goliath" way, Attorney Saperstein won spectacularly against some large corporations. Saperstein's story recalls that of Erin Brockovich, but he's had his share of high-profile cases, including a win against State Farm Insurance for $239 million and the infamous Denny's lawsuit. Civil Warrior tells these and other stories in a compelling way with accompanying photographs that manage to make protracted litigation -- the State Farm case dragged on for 12 years -- as readable as a thriller. Not only a good read but helpful for attorneys seeking the means to do the same.
