Charleston, SC, Aug. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In the little village of Shortsville, New York sits a tiny office that is home to the Zimmerman and Tyo law firm. Their stellar online reviews tell part of the story: that the men who have served there are the best kind of people—that they are for their community; for their clients; honest and straightforward attorneys who cater to the needs of everyday citizens, regardless of wealth or status.
John E. Tyo, Esq. retired from the firm earlier this year. He has now made it a part of his team’s legacy to tell the rest of the story: how his career manifested; how the firm came to be; how rare and special it is to faithfully spend one’s life pouring out grace and justice with a simple dedication to do good. Tyo’s memoir, Country Lawyer: Last of a Dying Breed, is a rare kind of memoir, too. It isn’t flashy celebrity fare or an ostentatious, brooding portrait of true crime. But it owes no apologies: It is a story about people—real people—who commit their lives to building a community and making it better. The book takes readers into the heart of a rural law office, where stories unfold that range from funny to thrilling to heartwarming. Perfect for law students, fans of cozy memoirs, and anyone with an interest in understanding how law affects ordinary people in the day-to-day, the book demonstrates the power of building authentic relationships with teammates and clients, and the ways we can be a change just by quietly delighting in the places we call home.
Country Lawyer: Last of a Dying Breed is available for purchase online at Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com. For more information about the author, please visit any of his social media platforms.
