Customer Reviews

Informative and Enjoyable

As a paralegal student just entering the legal field, I found this book to be invaluable. Being relatively new to the legal field I had little idea what to expect at a law office or how to deal with any unforeseen problems I might encounter. This book answered my questions as well as gave me new insight. A must-have for anyone working in the legal field!

Knowing What You're Worth

Even with several years of paralegal experience under my belt, I found Bogen's book both insightful and inspiring. If all you want out of life is a mediocre job and you have no aspirations of being the best, you probably won't enjoy it. Bogen's book inspires you to stand out in the crowd rather than just blending in unnoticed. Reader beware! With knowledge comes accountability. Once you realize you have greater potential, you won't want to turn back. Many of Bogen's ideas were practical and relatively easy to implement, others required more thought and energy. Whoever you are, you can always be better. Bogen's book helps take you further along the road of success.

Good Book for New and Experienced Paralegals

Bogen's book is the type of book I searched for when I got started in the legal field 10+ years ago. I have worked for the County District Attorney and civil law firms (small, medium and large) so my focus is litigation. However, Bogen's book focuses on the paralegal and not the practice area so it is relevant for everyone. I found reinforcement for ideas I had already developed, plus I picked up some new tips or outlooks on areas that are common in the legal field. This is a book that will help both new and experienced paralegals.
