Synopsis
Born in 1953 to a working class family in England’s industrial north east, career prospects were not great for 16 year old John McArdle, the ginger-headed class clown.With no clue of what he wanted to do and the end of school fast approaching, the decision was taken out of his hands when his teacher sent him for an interview with a Durham firm of solicitors.The firm hired him and in doing so ultimately unleashed into the world of law a ferocious adversarial lawyer who would fight for individuals against some of the largest establishments in the country; a lawyer who upset enough people in the name of justice that he nearly lost everything.This is the story of a working class boy who became a lawyer when working class boys didn’t become lawyers. It is a story of resilience, sense of justice and determination beyond belief.Sold to benefit UNICEF

About the Author
John McArdle is a retired adversarial lawyer living in the North East of England. Starting his first law firm with his business partner at the age of 25, he has spent his professional life fighting for justice for his clients against big businesses in a system that favoured the well off. He chose not to act for big institutions because going home at night thinking that he had preserved a large sum for a big insurance client at the expense of a pensioner didn't make him feel as good as winning a large sum for the pensioner, and it was upon this ethos that he built his businesses. John is a life-long supporter of Sunderland Football Club and a supporter of the children’s organisation UNICEF. He is now happily retired and lives near Darlington with his wife.
