THE SUICIDE
LAWYERS

Exposing Lethal Secrets

C.C. Risenhoover

Eighty-five Americans did more than think about suicide today; they did it. Another 2,096 attempted it, often with serious injuries. This year in America: 10,000 more suicides than murders; three to four times more deaths by suicide than by AIDS. It's easy to ignore if it doesn't hit close to home, but in a 15-year period more Americans will die at their own hand than died in combat in the entire 20th century. It is your problem, whether you want it or not. Skip Simpson and Michael Stacy, the two lawyers featured in this book, tell why.

  • Is someone I love at risk for suicide?
  • Is it true people who talk about suicide won't really do it?
  • Is it true if a person is determined to kill him or herself, nothing is going to stop them?
  • Will talking about suicide give someone the idea?

After reading this book, you will know how to recognize, react and intervene when a loved one is at risk for suicide.


"If I had only known..."

Dallas-based Simpson and Stacy is one of the most unique law firms in the nation. The partners, Skip Simpson and Michael Stacy, handle suicide cases almost exclusively.

Award winning journalist and best-selling author C.C. Risenhoover pries into the minds of the two attorneys to discover what motivates their focus on suicide, and how the high-profile cases they handle affect them personally. The result is an unusual but profound who, what, where, when, why and how of suicide in America–an easy to read book with shocking statistics, plus the frightening realization that you, or someone you know, is a suicide risk.

Why look at suicide through the eyes of attorneys? The author explains that, unlike psychiatrists, these attorneys have to look at the subject from every possible angle in preparing a case, and they also have to make their findings easily understandable to a jury.

You learn that suicide is the third leading cause of death among Americans 15 to 24 years of age, that annually suicide deaths in this country are often three times greater than death by AIDS, that there are 10,000-plus more suicides than murders each year, and that in the past 15 years more Americans have committed suicide than have died in battle in the entire 20th Century.

As to why this book is a must-read, many suicides are preventable if loved ones and friends understand the danger signals. After reading this book you will not be one of the many Americans who, after the suicide of a loved one or friend says, "If I had only known..."
