A. X. Foster was a prosecutor in Maryland for 20 years and then opened up his own law firm where he represented criminal defendants for an additional 15 years.

​

As a prosecutor, he tried approximately 100 jury trials, including homicides, sexual assaults, domestic violence and animal cruelty cases. His work promoting increased protection for animals led to the legislature enacting the first felony animal abuse law in Maryland history.  He also won the first conviction under the new law in 2000.

​

Foster graduated from Bennington College in Vermont with a double major in Literature and Theatre Arts.  He then spent two years as a copywriter at the Madison Avenue advertising agency Ogilvy & Mather.

​

Foster then traveled in Europe while based in Amsterdam, where he performed for two years at the English Speaking Theatre of Amsterdam. 

After returning to New York, he became a member of the acting unions Actors’ Equity, the Screen Actors’ Guild, and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists.  In the 1980s, Foster performed in various TV soap operas, including “Ryan’s Hope,” “Search For Tomorrow,” “The Guiding Light,” “Another World,” and “As The World Turns.”

​

Disenchanted with the world of professional acting, Foster entered law school to become an entertainment lawyer, but took a different path once he studied criminal law.

​

At Emory University School of Law in Atlanta, Foster won the school-wide Moot Court tournament and also received the prize for best legal writing, the Best Brief Award, and the prize for best speaker, the Best Oralist Award.  He was then named to represent Emory in the National Moot Court tournament where he competed against other law schools from across the country.

​

Upon graduation from law school, Foster first worked for the Department of Justice in Wilmington, Delaware and then took a position as an Assistant State’s Attorney in Maryland.

​

GAVEL TO GAVEL, Foster’s first legal thriller, is based on Foster’s experiences as a prosecutor.  A life-long fan of murder mysteries and legal thrillers, with Agatha Christie, John Grisham and James Patterson as influences, Foster began writing the novel in 2020, when COVID greatly curtailed activity in the local courthouse.

​

In GAVEL TO GAVEL, a wealthy businessman is murdered by his wife. The only eyewitness is their nine-year-old disabled daughter. Her testimony is the key to the case. Top prosecutor Mac MacIntyre is calm, confident and relies on his courtroom cunning to maneuver through a maze of office politics, the bright glare of the media spotlight and his own thorny ethical dilemmas. The story follows Mac as he navigates from the crime scene investigation to the selection of the jury, to fierce cross-examination, to a surprising jury verdict.

​

GAVEL TO GAVEL was published by Paper Raven Books in 2023 and has garnered many positive reviews.  His next book in THE SENECA COUNTY COURTHOUSE SERIES is titled DOUBLE BLIND, and features another murder trial with elements of police and judicial corruption.

Patrick "Pat" Wilson was born and raised in Miami, Florida. Since becoming an attorney, he has developed a reputation as a fierce trial lawyer willing to take complex cases and more than capable of winning them.

After graduating from law school, Patrick worked as an Assistant Public Defender at the Miami-Dade Public Defender's Office for six years, representing those accused of crimes who could not afford legal help.

Because of his experience, prior to entering private practice, Patrick became a training attorney, where he taught new lawyers how to try criminal cases.

Before founding Patrick Wilson Law, PLLC, Patrick tried 75 cases as an Assistant Public Defender or a member of the private bar throughout Miami-Dade, Broward, and West Palm Beach Counties. He has handled cases ranging from possession of marijuana to murder and has consistently obtained not-guilty verdicts for clients, even when it seems they faced impossible odds.

Patrick has and continues to give continuing legal education courses to other lawyers on topics such as jury selection, cross-examination, defending sex offenses, fingerprints, and DNA.

In 2022, remaining true to his public defender roots, Patrick was selected as a panel member for the CJA of the Southern District of Florida. In 2023, Patrick became board-certified in criminal trial law, meaning the Florida Bar recognized that Patrick was an expert in criminal defense.

In addition to practicing law, Patrick enjoys boating, diving, playing tennis and basketball, and spending time with his wife, son, and two dogs.

Miles is a fighter, both in the courtroom and out. When he’s not at his desk preparing a case, you will most likely find him at a boxing gym preparing for a bout. The same tenacity and determination that he brings to the ring, he brings to his client’s cases. Licensed in May of 2021, Miles began his practice of law in the personal injury field, were he learned how to press hard for his clients. While he excelled in this area, he was missing out on what he really wanted to do, litigate. In an effort to get into the courtroom and use his skills to help those in need, he turned to family law.

Miles first had the thought to become an attorney as a child but didn’t make the decision until his junior year in college. He obtained his bachelor’s degree in Biology from the University of North Texas, then proceeded to study law at the Washburn University School of Law. The transition from spending nights in a laboratory, to nights in a law library was shocking at first, but Miles quickly found his stride studying law. During the summer of his 2L year he participated in the Intensive Trial Advocacy Program (ITAP) and got his first taste of courtroom litigation. After getting in front of a judge and jury for the first time, Miles knew that was where he belonged.
