Customer Reviews

Excellent resource!

I read this cover to cover in about a day and a half. It was well worth what I paid for it. It gives practical hints and tips on how to run a successful business as well as stories of paralegals that ventured forth. I highly recommend the book!

Practical Resource

As a [...] consumer, I have yet to buy a book from these publishers that wasn't worth the asking price. These books are that useful! As a practicing paralegal in the Golden State, I consider myself fairly industry savvy but still found information contained within that I didn't find elsewhere. I'm not comfortable with [...] having the monopoly on subjects of this nature because any time there is only 1 provider of any given thing, that provider tends to gouge consumers. That will change as competition develops. In the interrim, however, this book is a good resource. Highly recommended.

The Independent's Paralegal Handbook...

The book gives a great reference for starting an independent paralegal business with examples of what should and should not be done in the business world.There is much focus on California, but much of the information can be used in other eaaster and mid-western states for setting up a business.I highly reccomend this book as a guide to help one build a success paralegal business.
