Customer Reviews

This shouldn't be your ONLY resource

This is well done and well organized. It's an inexpensive choice for a student or recent law school grad thinking of starting a practice. The technical information is out-of-date, but there are plenty of other sources of free information about software and on-line marketing. The writing style is stuffy but not unreadable by any means. If you can't afford the books by Carolyn Elefant (my first choice) or Jay Foonberg, start with this one and supplement it with online info.

great help!

this is a great resource that I will refer to for many years to come.
