A seasoned trial lawyer unwraps the mystic inside Florida's court rooms, and reveals that, even through each victory or defeat, you can still apply the lessons you learned as a child! Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of the courtroom? What laws shape the cities you live in? Who are the people, sitting behind the bench, fighting the fights, or standing up for the rights of others? This memoir is a small glimpse into the courtroom, from an experienced trial lawyer who came from the school of hard knocks. A.P. Gibbs provides an insightful and colorful view of the courtroom, while also examining his own background and the forces that shaped him, as an attorney. Get ready for a historical journey through small town America, as seen through the eyes, of an Old Cracker Lawyer. Ander Gibbs is a native Floridian who was raised in a large family of 9 children in Madison Florida, a small rural town in north Florida. He graduated from Florida State University with a degree in accounting and from the University of Florida Law School with a J D in Law. He is a retired Captain in the United Stated Marine Corps Reserves. Mr. Gibbs practiced law in Pasco, Hillsborough, and surrounding counties for 43 years prior to his retirement in 2011. He tried hundreds of criminal and civil cases during his career and practiced law in numerous state courts in Florida, the Federal District Court, Southern District of Florida, the United States 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, as well as the Supreme Court of the United States.
