God Knows No Heroes - Review
“This is a terrific, fast-paced read about the dark side of law enforcement and the judiciary. Norman Shabel has a masterful command of the interaction of cops, judges, and defense lawyers and he has presented that to us with an added dose of international intrigue in his compelling debut novel. I couldn’t put it down.”

The Burning Gavel - Review
“The flawed but fearless lawyer represents the victims and seeks justice for his or her client through a legal system that has complex procedures and doctrines. Only a trial lawyer and novelist as experienced and talented as Norm Shabel could have created and maintained the drama of this trial without sacrificing the reality of the strategies and technicalities that structure it.”

The Burning Gavel - Review
“The Burning Gavel, by Norman Shabel, is a thrilling roller-coaster ride of the ups and downs of a civil trial from an insider’s point of view. Melvin Levine, the tough, street-smart lawyer with a chip on his shoulder but a heart of gold, battles giant corporations, their hired gunslingers, and the justice system itself. In the end, Melvin shows us the true meaning of love, friendship, and honor. The Burning Gavel is a poignant, compelling, page-turner that can’t be put down.”
