More social commentary than law

I have to give this book a strong review in light of the other negative review. I am not a lawyer and while I have a FLP, RLT, APT I didn't take the book to be pushing product but commenting more on a society bent on profiting from lawsuits rather than punishing people financially for their wrongdoings. In a capitalist society money is so coveted and to what end? This book is a much deeper look at the profiteers than the authors trying to sell something. I say buy the book and form your own opinion. You know what they say about opinions and I would lump diver in with them.

AN INSIDE VIEW OF THE AMERICAN LEGAL SYSTEM

As an attorney with years of litigation experience, I can safely say that the Lodmell's have taken a long, honest and soul-searching looking at the American court system and how it has been corrupted by unscrupulous attorneys. As for the Lodmell's solutions, they are one of the country's leading asset proetction firms for a reason, their planning goes far beyong mere family limited partnerships, and they have literally thousands of clients who have benefitted from their expertise in this field. This is a fascinating read for the lay man and should be required ethics reading for every lawyer in America. The Lodmell's have really hit the nail on the head here, SharkDiverK's review was way off base,he obviously does not have the oxygen mix right in his tanks, or perhaps he has not really read the book.
