Dear Mr. Stark:
I read your book! It was well-written and entertaining, as well as exceptionally moving.
It should be required reading for every personal injury associate.
How can I go about getting some autographed copies for friends?
Best regards, ”

I can’t believe I paid so much attention on one thing for so long.
I took the mp3 file and used a program called “cooledit” to speed up the talking (at normal speed, i was not able to follow along – i was reading too fast) – and I got through the book in two sittings. It was that interesting. I can’t even sit through a movie without getting restless, unless it’s a great movie…
Congratulations on your book and your impressive career. I thought of “the mystery machine” and Fred, Velma, Daphne, Shaggy and Scooby on the hunt for “clues,” when you were gathering all your information like the pool numbers and something about the car in the field and the seat belt buckle.
I am lucky that my life isn’t as hindered as some others that you’ve represented. Which makes me think of those one-liners at the end, about people not thinking I deserve what I have on account of how “normal” I appear to be. I wrote a song parody about that one, John at Indiana U…sort of suggested online that I “give back” the money I have – so I took Reba McEntire’s “Take It Back” song and revamped it: “A Million Dollar Past, An Unhindered Life Today – So Give It Back, Oh Give It Back.
Well, good show, as the English say.”

“The book is action focused, has journalistic momentum, informing you as it goes. I wish I had learned the lessons Stark and his clients teach before I went to court.”

“This is a well conceived and graphically described account of one lawyer’s efforts to better the lives of those who have been victimized by the wrong doing of others.”
Tom Dempsey, Esquire, Los Angeles
“While at first glance “Insiders Secrets to Winning” may seem like war stories by another plaintiff lawyer, it is much richer. Albert Stark is a passionate voice for people with disabilities-a voice that cries out for compassion and advocacy to a public that can once again restore dignity and value to lives that have been severely compromised by handicaps. But it is more than that. Albert Stark shows lawyers that they have to be themselves a fighter, tenacious, gutsy, and yet caring. This book should not only be mandatory reading by every plaintiff lawyer, but the general public to raise awareness that without funding, people with disabilities are often relegated to life of squalor, warehousing, and treated like less than humans. This is a must read book. ”
Robert Voogt, Chairman, National Brain Injury Society. Virginia Beach, Virginia
“This book is human drama and a subject the public needs to hear about.”

“Educational and detailed. It is the kind of book one would read if a personal situation prompted such interest.”
Julie. Head Injury Victim. Mississippi.
“The book is action focused, has journalistic momentum, informing as it goes, limning the people but wasting no words.”
Carolyn. Psychologist for Seriously injured people. New York.
“The writing is straight, clear, and deceptively simple so that all who read can understand. The book explains many technical things as you go along but it enhances the flow of the stories. Stark holds the hand of the reader very lightly so that no one gets lost.”
Patti. Sister of Seriously Injured Person. Princeton, New Jersey.

Albert:
I finished your new book over the weekend and I must say that I very much enjoyed it. The book is a very good introduction to the trials and tribulations of a seasoned litigator looking back on some of the highlights of his illustrious career. Moreover, your optimism and your belief in the invaluable and pivotal role that attorneys play came through strongly in the book. The following are some additional thoughts and comments:
1.) Good use of personal insight and experience.
2.) Writing style was appropriate to the non-attorney – the use of non-legalistic prose and descriptive narrative enabled the book to flow like a novel.
3.) Character development was excellent. Indeed, I thought your inclusion in the book of details about each client’s life, their interests and personal circumstances really helps the reader to identify with what each of these persons went through as a result of their respective accidents.
4.) Your discussion of how you thought through the elements of a case and
assembled evidence, as well as how certain facts and presentation approaches might affect a jury gave the book a certain “Columbo” effect, which was both instructive and enjoyable.5.) Personally, I liked reading about how you worked with other attorneys and staff at the firm (all of whom I either know or know of). I especially liked Chapter 5 for this reason and because the details, client interaction and the suspense incorporated into this chapter was particularly good.
6.) Favorite chapters: Chapter 5 and Chapter 8. Chapter 8 had the least amount of legal analysis, but a great personal touch and was probably the only client story that had sort of a happy ending. It was incredible how that poor boy spent a year in the hospital, lost his hands, etc. and yet notwithstanding the pain, anguish and tremendous loss was able to come to terms with the permanency of his injury and make a decent life for himself. . . . and then have the firm set up that foundation for other burn victims.
7.) The “Take Aways” section at the back of the book is a very good and practical little extra for the reader in need of help or who knows someone who is.
Great job Albert!”
