Imaginative, outrageous, and completely unconstrained.
Imaginative, outrageous, and completely unconstrained, Richard L. Becker is the Yale Law graduate, practicing family law attorney, and hockey coach who writes the fiction that most people are afraid to live. He channels the corruption and absurdity he sees daily in the justice system and youth sports into compulsively readable novels that dare readers to keep turning the page. From a private investigator hired to seduce an assistant coach to characters who will do anything to win, his darkly comic stories explore a just person fighting an unjust world—where innocence defeats immorality or joins it. A concept grabs him, the music plays, and the characters take over. The result is raw, topical escapist fiction that delivers uncomfortable truths about love, greed, revenge, and redemption in America today.

Monday Courtroom Confession #47 (Anonymized)
“She sat across from me in the conference room, eyes hollow, whispering that her husband had ‘disappeared’ with their daughter. The evidence was piling up against her — the affair, the life insurance, the lies she told police. But as I listened, something felt off. Not the kind of off you fix with a motion to dismiss. The kind that makes you wonder if the whole system is rigged to punish the innocent while the real monsters walk free.
That night I sat at the rink watching my players battle it out, and it hit me: the same absurdity plays out on the ice. Parents screaming for blood over a bad call. Coaches who’ll do anything to win. Kids caught in the middle.
Truth is, I don’t write to entertain. I write because the characters won’t shut up until I put their fight on paper. Want the rest of this confession — and the ones that never make it into the books? Join the list.”
