Cowboy to Courtroom: From Poverty to Prosperity and What I've Learned Along the Way - Paperback

by Billy II Strickland (Author)

At fourteen, Billy Strickland II left home on a Greyhound bus. He slept many winter nights under oak trees and underpasses. Yet in the years since, Billy has founded one of the largest law firms in his district, built a substantial real estate portfolio, hit the political campaign trail, survived setbacks, betrayal, and cancer, and discovered what life is really about.

How did he do it?

How did a young man without connections or means go from riding bulls on the rodeo circuit across the country to slinging bull in the courtroom and the Capitol?

As a young man, Billy wrote many goals in a Franklin planner. His top three: own 1,000 contiguous acres, become a lawyer, and build his own firm. Cowboy to Courtroom tells the tale of how he met those goals and more, and what he learned along the way.

This is his story, told with candor and courage. It's an exciting read, and it could change the way you look at the deep canyons and high ridges of your own life.
