About this listen
How much would you give up to get justice for your family?
Matthew Daley is a Manhattan corporate lawyer at the top of his game. As the first defense attorney on call to get pharmaceutical companies out of trouble, Matt is rising in the judicial system exactly as he planned. Until his sister dies of a heroin overdose.
Now, torn between conscience and career, the newly minted law partner faces a critical choice: defend the very companies that manufactured the addictive drugs, or give up his fiancée and his hard-won dream job to fight for justice in his sister’s name.
Returning to his blue-collar hometown with a ragtag band of law-school misfits by his side, Matt squares off against a team of New York corporate attorneys in a high-stakes courtroom battle. If he wins, the case could have national implications, bringing down the multibillion-dollar Big Pharma industry. If he loses, he’ll become collateral damage in the greatest fall of his career and his life.

Maybe I am too cynical
Maybe I have become too cynical, but this story was...simply too pathetic. The First part seemed like a fairy tale. The court room drama was much better. But still, I think this is too far a stretch from the real life...

Win or Lose Everyone Loves An Underdog
I really enjoyed this story and listened to the whole book in one setting. While, the story line is somewhat predictable, the cadance of the perils that befell the main character kept me engaged. The character development spanned the whole book which was wonderful. As the story unfolded, we learned more about the family. The ending more closely resembled real life, unfinished and hopeful. Quite entertaining.

Delighted by this legal novel
This is the first time I have read a Trafford book but will not be the last. This was a very enjoyable read. I didn't have to concentrate too hard as with many of my latest reads into legal procedural or novels with dozens of characters. It kept me interested and went by quickly. I highly recommend.

New Favorite Author!
Downloaded 'Without Precedent' yesterday afternoon (less than 24 hours ago). I enjoy books than pull you in so deeply you feel as if you know the characters personally and are watching their senerio play out. Until yesterday, I had never heard of J.D. Trafford and felt I was taking gamble. It was well worth the gamble. The narrator Timothy Andres Pabon was excellent addition as well. If you haven't read any of J.D. Trafford's books before, I highly recommend you give him a try!

Awesome! Best Trafford story I have read
I read about ten books a month. This means I am somewhat selective and will read an author's series if I like the first one. without Precedent is the BEST of this three book series and the first book in a long time that I literally could not put down until the last sentence.
