4 stars for another cracking good legal mystery. This is book 6 in the Mike Daley/Rosie Fernandez series. Mike and Rosie are asked to represent a death row inmate at San Quentin prison, California. Nate Fineman is scheduled for execution is 2 weeks. He was a famous mob layer who usually won his cases. He represented some of the most notorious mobsters in the San Francisco area.
He was sentenced to death for the murder of 3 men, involved in selling drugs. Fineman was found at the scene unconscious with the murder weapon in his hand. One week after they agree to be co- counsel, the lead lawyer has a heart attack and dies. They work 24/7 trying to find a reason to delay the execution. I can't reveal the end without spoiling it. I liked the ending. Mike and Rosie are legal partners and divorced. They are still a couple, but live apart.
Two quotes:
Mike. on his brother, Pete, a PI who acts as their investigator:
"My brother divides people into two categories: those who have experience in law enforcement and those who don't."
Describing a an alleged mobster on taking the witness stand:
"Dressed in an tailored Armani suit, a monogrammed white shirt, and a pink tie, he takes his fashion cues from Donald Trump."
This was an Amazon purchase.

The Daley Fernandez legal mysteries are one my ‘go to’ series when I need a light entertaining book. Sixth in the series, ‘Judgment Day’ sees the law firm determined to stop the execution of a former mob lawyer. Lots of good moments here and the book is reasonably satisfying, but I can’t help feeling that the courtroom scenes (my favorite parts) are getting fewer and their significance is becoming less as the series goes on. Not one to start the series with but good enough for devotees.

Siegel’s sixth offering in the Mike Daley/Rosie Fernandez legal thriller series has the duo defending a notorious defense attorney convicted of killing three men and is currently living on San Quentin’s death row. Nate Fineman was detested by the San Francisco Police Department because he defended mobsters, so they were delighted when he was found with the murder weapon in his hands. With just days left before Fineman’s scheduled execution, Mike and Rosie work tirelessly to find the evidence that will stay the execution.

Sheldon Siegel is a dependable author whose writing style has never been a disappointment. Thanks to my wife's recommendation, I only started reading this series last year. Each book has been a great reading experience.

This is #6 in the series, and the best of the three that I have listened to. The plot is fairly intricate, although there is little doubt about the outcome, no matter how little time remaining. Siegel tends to reveal crucial facts only at the very end, so it is almost impossible to guess how the mystery will resolve itself, a weakness in the telling. Nevertheless, it held my interest, and the main characters and their families are interesting.
Even though the author is an attorney and I am not, I still find his courtroom scenes rather unrealistic, even after taking poetic license into account.
Tim Campbell is a good but not great reader. I liked Stephen Hoye better.

First Sentence: The oldest man on death row is eyeing me from his wheelchair.
Attorney Mike Daley and Rosie, in spite of a promise to his ex-wife and law partner, takes on a death-row appeals case. Former powerhouse-attorney Nate Fineman, is due to die in 8 days. He was convicted of killing three men in a Chinatown restaurant shooting, but claims he is innocent and the gun was planted by the police. Now Mike has not only to prove Nate’s innocence, but find identify the killer in order to prevent Nate’s execution. There is one slight conflict; Mike’s late father was one of the officers at the scene of the shooting.
Living in the Bay Area, I do love books set here where it is delightful to read of places I know or have been and people whose names are iconic with the area. But it is also nice, that Siegel gets the geographic and atmosphere right as well. Siegal has a great voice writes realistic dialoque and uses humor well.
It’s his characters I particularly like. His people are…people; not over-the-top or infallible. Mike and his ex-wife Rosie work together, are occasionally intimate but can’t life together yet they make it work so they are both involved in their children’s lives. The contrast between Mike and his ex-cop brother, Pete, is a study in contrasts and adds dimension to both characters.
The story is very well plotted. The element of time counting down is always effective and, although I don’t know how realistic they may be, I do particularly like the courtroom scenes. [An attorney friend tells me the courtroom scenes are very well done.:]
Siegel is a writer whose books I very much enjoy and was pleased to learn there is a new book on its way.

Didn't seem to have enough action to hold my interest, just a lot of talking to people. Didn't care enough about the victim to motivate me to see the outcome.

Another 5 star rating for this amazing series! The legal issues the characters take on are seemingly impossible to win - but read the series to find out if and how they do.

Did not care for the constant rehash of the same material over and over.

Am I loving this series...Indeed I am (you have to read it to understand the tongue in cheek.) So much so that I've read the first six books without updating my Goodreads.
This is a legal series where Mike Daley and Rosie Fernandez take on hopeless cases and throw their all into them. With favourite characters appearing in each book, and aiding these two as much as they can, every story I've read so far, I've thoroughly enjoyed.
On to book seven!

Him it was another good novel in the series, good character development. There was not much filler and had good drama. My only problem was that I am somewhat tired of death row cases and trying to get people saved or off. I have been down that road. It was a good novel. I feel next one will be very good. I would read the novel.

I'm on a roll, with just one more book left in the seven-book series featuring former spouses Mike Daley and Rosie Fernandez, who have continued to work together in their law firm. In this one, the 6th, the couple are called in for a Hail Mary attempt to get a stay of execution for a former lawyer who was convicted of murdering three people in Chinatown some 10 years ago.
Because he earned his stripes successfully defending shady characters and mobsters, he's never been a candidate for the San Francisco Police Department's Man of the Year award. But more to the point, he not only claims he's innocent, but that the cops who showed up at the murder scene likely planted the evidence that convicted him as payback for getting one too many bad guys off. That's bad enough, but even worse is that Mike's late father, a long-time policeman, was among them. The real possibility emerges that if Mike and Rosie get a stay of execution for their client, they may not be able to make it happen without implicating Mike's beloved dad.
Even with help from Mike's very capable investigator-brother Pete and a couple of other "regulars," it may not be possible for the legal eagles to collect sufficient evidence to cast doubt on the original investigation and convince the judge to grant the stay. The chapters are laid out in number of days and hours left until the scheduled execution, and it's almost a foregone conclusion that the decision will go down to the wire. There are no real shockers along the way, but it's still fun to watch Mike in the courtroom. where I have no doubt he'd give Perry Mason a run for his money.

This one is my favorite, so far. A lot happened to Mike and Rosie as far as stress goes. Our favorite PI Nick “the Dick” was present and all the other friends of the attorneys. Something bad happened to Pete that made him reconsider his current life situation. Mike & Rosie were called by a bigtime ex-attorney named Nate to help him stay alive and not get…stuck by lethal injection in only 8 days. The race was on. The 2 attorneys had to call upon their best players to help prove Nate’s innocence. Thankfully they were actually paid for their time this time - they tend to do a lot of pro bono typically.
Something happened in the end that brought a smile to my face, but something else made me frown.
Next book is Perfect Alibi, Book 7. I just started it a little bit ago. Grace’s boyfriend has been arrested in the killing of his father, who just happens to be a Judge. Oh no! Will Mike and Rosie save Bobby or will Justice be served when it is discovered he is actually the exact one to bludgeon his father to death?!

This is Siegel’s sixth novel to feature San Francisco defense attorney Mike Daley. The main protagonist is Nate Fineman, an attorney on San Quentin’s death row. He enlists Daley and his law partner, Rosie Fernandez, in a desperate effort to gain a stay of execution. Fineman, who’s scheduled for lethal injection in less than nine days, was convicted 10 years earlier after being found in a Chinatown alley clutching the gun used to murder two drug dealers and a lawyer who’d been meeting in a nearby restaurant.
Daley pursues the theory that his new client was framed by the cops, despite the complicating factor that Daley’s own father was one of the policemen responding to the triple homicide.
This is my third Siegel book in a row and within a month and I’m starting to see the formula and the mechanics behind the story. Still a really good legal thriller, this is the first one that I’ve seen the final plot twist from afar.

This is maybe the fifth or sixth book in a series about an ex-husband and wife who practice criminal law together. I started reading the series about 5 years ago when I was taking a trip to San Francisco and wanted to read a book that took place in that city. I've read each of the books in the series, and haven't been disappointed with any of them. They're pretty easy reading, and good filler when you just want to read something that you don't have to think too much about. The characters are likeable, and the story lines are entertaining enough. Each book stands on its own, so you don't need to read them in order, but there are a few minor storylines that continue throughout the series.

Nathan Fineman, a former mob lawyer, has been in jail for 10 years, accused of killing three people. he is in death row and will be executed in one week. As a desperate measure, he hires Mike Daley and his ex-wife and now law partner, Rosie, to find a way to reverse this decision. He swears he is innocent. Unlike other Siegel's books, I found the first two third parts very slowly and sometimes difficult to follow. There are Chinese, mobsters, police officers, too many characters. The last third part saves the book.
July 12, 2008
I really enjoy Siegel because his legal novels ring true. There's no Grisham chase scenes or Perry Mason moments.

But wait, it gets worse. He alleges the gun was planted as part of an attempt to frame him. Internal Affairs investigated, but clears the responding officers of wrongdoing. But, but, but... the file is missing. And one of the cops who allegedly framed our defendant, the ones first on the scene, included Mike Daley's late father, a former police officer.

everyone deserves a lawyer like Michael Daley, recommend
This is a great book. I just love Michael courtroom performance. I love how he thinks on his feet when he’s questioning a witness. I love how he can bs the courtroom. He knows when the hold and when to fold. He knows how to push everyone buttons to get the results he wants. Michael is a very compassionate and empathetic man. If he believes his client, he will fight for them to the end. He never gives up on a client. I like Grim as the DA. He puts up a strong fight against Michael. I also love Pete and Roosevelt characters but Nick the Dick is one of a kind. I’m still enjoying Michael antics. He’s so hilarious to me. If only people knew what he was actually thinking in his head about them. Oh, I’m giving their father the benefit of the doubt.

Ten years ago, lawyer Nate Fineman was convicted of killing three (alleged) drug lords at a San Francisco Chinatown restaurant, the Golden Dragon. He is eight days away from execution when Mike and Rosie are hired to handle his final appeal.
Can Mike and Rosie prove, within eight short days, A) that someone else did it; B) that the police botched the investigation; or C) that the police planted the weapon and framed Nate? Mike is hoping he can prove option A, because options B or C might implicate his late father, who was one of the first cops to arrive on the scene ...
Both masterful and suspenseful!

Judgement Day
Another great story with Mike and Rosie and his brother Pete. I just love this series with the characters and I mean all of them the author really brings them to life. In this story Mike and Rosie find themselves defending a msn on death row who has 2" weeks to live. They find there own lives are threatened and even the safety of there children. Mikes brother Pete is shot at and everything looks pretty bad as to getting there client off. The courtroom drama is of course very good again and I am looking forward to the next story as they are all great. Love to see these brought to the TV.

Defies Credibility, Disappointing
I enjoy Mr. Siegel’s legal thrillers so far until this one. This scenario defies credulity. It turns out with a feel good ending wrapped around an entire plot and legal theatrics that would never happen in real life. It was tied up at the end too neatly with no real evidence but somehow came together out of thin air. From the fact two down n their luck attorneys who spend 8 days with virtually zero sleep could mount a case like this or that a judge would even grant a hearing in no evidence of innocence, to how the attorney conducts the hearing and the judge’s order based on nothing credible…l.oh please this was junk.

Having read and enjoyed the five previous installments in the Daley/Fernandez series, I have become a Sheldon Siegel fan and look forward to each successive mystery/thriller. This novel took me a bit longer than normal to finish; however, it is excellently constructed and well-written. It is somewhat slower paced, especially through the middle sections, but I attribute that to the nature of the story (death row case). As the book comes to its conclusion in the final chapters, there is an intense amount of courtroom strategy, action, and drama which kept me turning pages until the end.

"Time Is Of The Essence"
Divorced Mike and Rosie couldn't manage being married to each other, but being law partners has been very successful for them. They take on another very difficult case by beginning with stopping the execution of Nathan Fineman, a former mob lawyer convicted of murdering three people. Mike and Rosie have only 10 days to prove their client's innocence. Things just seem to keep boiling over the pot in their lives. The stories in this intense thriller series are mind bending. Read one, and you'll want to read them all. Highly recommend.

I like these books, I'm reading the whole series in order. The stories are good. My only complaint is that the characters never seem to sleep. I mean EVER. It becomes unbelievable when Pete the PI calls at 2 AM and everyone meets at some location. They are always at the office into the wee hours and up all night doing various stake outs or following a lead. I would prefer the stories if that part was more like real life where someone's eyes couldn't read pages of briefs after 24 to 36 hours of wakefulness.

this is my first encounter with Siegel's unlikely law firm and divorced couple and won't be my last.
Rosie is sharp, perhaps a bit too. She pushes herself and her partner to extremes.
They tackle the impossible -- just a week to go before his execution, a famous defense lawyer also from San Francisco has his attorney of record reach out to them for assistance. who then promptly dies.
uphill battle to say the least and Mike and Rosie use every legal not always ethical trick in the book to prevail. a classic legal thriller with suspense and twists that fit.

Sheldon Siegel's Legal series
It is a very brave person who takes on writing about the death penalty and describing the emotions of all those involved. Sheldon Siegel takes on the death penalty subject in such a way that the reader knows without a doubt that he has studied it thoroughly and has the knowledge to write this story in way that makes his story believable. I decided to read each book of this series because I like his characters and I will miss them when I am caught up with reading each of the stories of Mike and Rosie

Really well done. The investigation into a triple murder thats 10 years old is interesting, and I love the court chapters.
I didn't like Pete getting shot, he's my fave, but I love that he might work with Nick the Dick, another fave. I wasn't that sympathetic to Nate, actually think his time served in error makes up for his defence of criminals in his career.
Mike and Rosie are the best, great story. So glad there's more in this series.

Another good story!
The 6th installment of the Daley/Fernandez does not disappoint! The story was interesting and keeps you on the edge of your seat. Even though it's fiction, you feel like you actually know the characters and that the story is factual. Having worked in the legal arena for many years, the courtroom action, the testifying and the Q &A's are all to familiar and soothing. Looking forward to the 7th book.

Always a fun read with a continuing cast of characters. Breezily written with snide sides by the first-person narrator Mike Daley, a San Francisco lawyer in partnership with his ex-wife. They cannot live with (or without) each other, so live apart. They have two children. Then there's Nick the Dick and Mart the Sport and other entertaining individuals populating the plots.
Suggest starting at #1, although any is entertaining.
