Jail, prison, eviction, unemployment, the homeless shelter: these were just some of the destinations awaiting John Bermingham’s beaten down and desperate clients. For 25 years, Bermingham, using an off-the-wall assortment of court room tactics, coupled with an empowering vision of reality for those who sought his aid, enabled men and women to break the grip of despair, elude personal catastrophe and begin life anew. In this autobiographical account, attorney Bermingham describes not only his own conquest of hopelessness, but how a chance encounter at a diner opened his eyes to the system he’d actually been using to transform clients from lifers in the quicksand of poverty and incarceration into individuals with jobs, purpose and freedom from debt.

If you or someone you love is overwhelmed and ready to give up, Your Mother Sent Me will let them see, through actual cases handled by the author, that no situation is hopeless and that change “happens fast”. How is it done? Let Bermingham show you.
