I'M STILL STANDING is the story of a man whose idea of duty put him in conflict with the powers that be, and how he endured the injustice of false charges and wrongful incarceration, turning bad providence into spiritual growth.

Hicks, a modern-day Serpico, reveals his story in hopes that no other dedicated individual will ever have to suffer through a justice system gone mad.
The purpose of this book is not just to restore justice, to right the wrongs visited upon Mr.
Hicks, but to make everyone aware of the dangers we all face in a country riddled with corruption to such a degree that honesty is all but eliminated.
