The Street Lawyer is a 1998 legal thriller novel by John Grisham.Michael Brock was a lawyer climbing the ranks of Drake & Sweeney, a giant D.C. law firm with eight hundred lawyers. With tons of money and a partnership in just three years, he is on the fast track to a wealthy life with no time to waste, and no mind for any of the beggars on the street asking for even just a few coins...That is until a homeless man named Mister decide to attack the firm and hold Michael and some other lawyers hostage. Michael survived, and his assailant did not. But with the mystery of this violent beggar nagging on his mind, Michael end up digging a little to deep. He found a dirty little secret tucked away in Drake & Sweeney.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })From there, everything collapsed. His carrier. His finance. Michael went from the big top to the streets. From a firm lawyer to a street lawyer, an advocate for the homeless. And from a rich white man to a thief with a file that could shake the whole legal system to its core.

Ambiguous Situation: Both Michael and Claire understood why they are finally divorcing. Besides the fact that their relationship has become stale from both sides being busy with work, Claire doesn't want to be dragged down financially because of Michael's decision to quit working in D&S and work as a street lawyer. However, when Michael called Claire at one point, he is surprised to find an unknown man answering the phone before it was given to Claire. Michael suspects Claire may have been secretly seeing someone all this time, to give her the love that he failed to show her due to his work. But Michael decided not to investigate further, since that wasn't why they divorced in the first place and, since they are both divorced now, both sides are free to pursue a new lover if they wanted to.

Affectionate Nickname: Many people close to Michael will call him Mike. Though, some of their relationships with Michael might not be that stable, and only be because of how long they spent time with him.
