A "must-have" resource for every practicing attorney whose work takes him into the sphere of bankruptcy law
"Attorney Liability in Bankruptcy" is a "must-have" resource for every practicing attorney whose work takes him into the sphere of bankruptcy law. Filled from cover to cover with up-to-date (as of 2006) critical letters and forms needed to comply with recent legal changes and the imperatives of the new bankruptcy law, Attorney Liability in Bankruptcy covers everything from dealing with creditors' lawyers to bankruptcy ethics issues to reaffirming debt after bankruptcy and much more. An accompanying CD-ROM with letters that can be quickly modified to suit appropriate situations and jurisdictions, Attorney Liability in Bankruptcy is easy-to-use, utterly invaluable resource, and also recommended for lay readers seeking to brush up on legal changes before consulting an expensive bankruptcy attorney. No general practice law office can afford to be without a copy of "Attorney Liability in Bankruptcy" in their professional reference library.

thrive don't just survive
while there are many books available on divorce there are few that are succinct enough and simple enough to get your attention when you have been thrust unsuspecting into the middle of a divorce. I have read the book many times in the 2 years since my x initiated our divorce and it has been supremely helpful in helping me atttain my dignity, humor, and resolve in living a life no less without my former.If nothing else ithas given me a positive direction to go when no one else could or would.I have followed all the advice and will be living the life I choose thanks to the jump start I got from this book and all the people it helped lead me to. "A reader'sreview" says it all, if you need help this book is it!

Caveat Emptor - Only read it if you want revenge & money
If you still love your estranged husband (or wife, for that matter, as the text is relevant for both sexes), toss this book, walk away and forget it has ever come into your possession. "Beat Him" is written for those who believe in getting even in the event of a separation, not least in their being awarded a huge financial settlement at the time of divorce. If you see yourself belonging to this category, the book sets out to advance some pointers, albeit vindictive ones, on how you could make the best of the situation when your other half decides to opt out of your life.
Beat Him -- Financially and Emotionally
Ted Knight's book is a wonderful resource and gives such valuable insight on the 'Right' things to do before, during, and after a divorce. Every woman involved in a separation or a divorce should read this to bring order, understanding, and organization to the chaos and devastation of a marriage gone bad. ... Read more

Great book!
This is an intriguing expose' on the underground market for human body parts.I would definitely recommend it--it is quite eye-opening!

Black Markets : The Supply and Demand of Body Parts
This is very interesting reading.Being an avid reader, I am always browsing through books looking for something knowledgeable and different from my usual relationship topics.This caught my attention and I could not put it down.I would never expect a book of this nature to do that.This author did a fantastically wonderful job of shining light on a subject that is very important and does not receive attention.More importantly, it is written in a way that would engage the average person.Great job !!!!

Timely and Honest
I am incredibly impressed with this author.I participated in a conference hosted by her law school this past weekend.It was outstanding!She read from the book and the room was in complete silence.She is a brilliant author and professor.This is one of the few books written by a bioethicist that speaks to the public.I congratulate the author. ...

Covers Many Topics
This book hit on many topics and is a good reference book to use throughout the various stages of your divorce. Touches on a wide variety of things and generally answers some questions you might have. Some advice in this book I did not see in other divorce books such as what to do about debt in both of your names. Outlines what to do about credit card debt in both names as well as mortgage debt in both names. Mortgage debt is harder to get out of your name even if your spouse is awarded the asset. You are both still liable for mortgage debt until it is paid off or refinanced. Even if your divorce decree says that your former spouse is responsible for paying it. Book tells you how to communicate with credit card companies in regard to protecting your credit.
thorough, reliable
Divorce for Dummies is a thorough overview of the divorce process and ways to make it easier and less expensive. I know the authors from interviewing them for my Internet radio show, [...] and other articles, and I know they are very careful in the resources and information they present. I also believe they really do have the consumer's best interest at heart.
OK for general information, not for individual states
I prefer books that are state specific such as Texas Family Law Guide, Louisiana Family Law Guide, etc. ... Read more

A Better Book By Far
This is a better book by far than the unfortunately better known INTERNAL BLEEDING.It is certainly more honest.It has the clear advantage of being written by people who know and understand the subject ,and unlike Internal Bleeding, it does not suffer the disadvantage of having been written by physicians who, purposfully or otherwise, seem very intent in obscuring the responsibility for medical mistakes.
Truth be told
This book is a well researched, well written must read for all Americans. The authors share their personal story as well as the stories of others who have suffered at the hands of a careless physician. While the stories will break your heart, they may also save your life, or the life of someone you love. While none of us want to believe that those we trust with our bodies and our lives would neglect a sacred trust, the fact is it is happening all too often.This book delivers the message without hype, fear or hysteria.Read it, share it and take it with you.

First do no harm
If even one person dies, that is one too many. But it is not just one, not even 10 or 100 patients who are maimed and dying from health care mistakes. As Gibson and Singh reveal, the numbers are much much higher than that. And anyone of them could be you or your loved ones. Medical errors do not discriminate. Everyone is vulnerable even doctors themselves as patients. Read more

Divorce & Sanity
I give this book to all my clients at our first meeting.This book will help divorcing couples stay sane and get what they need out of their divorce process.Every chapter has guidance and words of wisdom.I recommend this book to every person who is thinking of, or going through, divorce.

It ruined MY LIFE
This was the only book I bought in '92 a year before my divorce became final.I was really in need of solid advice, and got rooked.
I saved thousands!
Many of our friends have spent thousands on lawyer fees and ended up frustrated and bitter.Following Sam Margulies' advice, we were able to work out an equitable divorce settlement that was approved by the court within a month of the final divorce decree.Our total fees were less than $1000.00, and our relationship has remained good enough to make decisions about our children together with the kids' best interests in mind.Unlike others we know, we've both been able to move on with our separate lives. ...

Praise from Isabel Allende
As the matriarch in a very large extended family, where there is much love but conflict may be unavoidable, I read Collaborative Divorce with great interest.I hope my family will not need to use it, but just in case, I bought a copy for each couple around me.Bitter divorces are expensive, painful, they create long-term resentment, and make it difficult to raise healthy children.The damaging effects of failed or thwarted love can and should be avoided. That is the point of this book.According to the authors, when there is a commitment to integrity, ethical
Must Read for Divorce
The authors have succeeded in creating an easily accessible and remarkably complete guide to thinking about and managing this difficult process.The combination of legal and emotional insight will resonate strongly with anyone who has participated in divorce and goes on to skillfully guide the reader through the alternative.Clearly there is a better way and this work hits on all the different aspects, how to approach them and the high value of avoiding the legal process.This is a must read for anyone contemplating divorce.The outcome will be a dramatically better experience, better settlement and an easier path to the rest of one's life.Top rating.

Good textbook for intro class
I suppose the most important question is why are you interested in this book.It would make a good textbook for an intro type class in this area or would be good for someone who doesn't know DNA analysis, but is involved in criminalistics.The level of detail is insufficient for anyone who actually understands the molecular approaches.It spends a fair bit of time talking about cases and HOW this particular approach was once useful.These are interesting little stories, but the book really didn't give me what I wanted.I have a background in molecular genetics and was interested in making a career shift to DNA forensics.There was little of value for me because it never really got to the details.I think it would be good for a class because it provides historical perspective on the now outdated techniques that would be important background for someone who never knew anything about the development of the previous techniques and only learned what is current today, but to someone who has that background...seemed like it just added a new chapter to an otherwise outdated book.

A great intro for the beginner
Having left behind my interest in genetics in order to pursue tax accountancy, I've always been fascinated by accounts of DNA typing.This book provides a wonderful introduction that is accessible to even the novice geneticist like myself.Much of the information Rudin and Inman give is quite practical; with some help from a friend who works in a medical lab I was able to set up my own electrophoresis gels and PCR.A word of caution to the amateur, however:make sure you practice before drawing any conclusions from the "evidence."My wife, Amy, wouldn't speak to me for a week after I claimed that a stain on our bed linen did not match my DNA.It turned out that she had spilled some ice cream.

vivid introduction to forensic genotyping techniques
Nice figures, photos, schemes, and U.S. tables; lively comparisons show that authors are good teachers. Though technical part of the book outdates fast necessarily (acronym SNP has not been coined in 1996 yet), it is a shame that an interpretation part of the book neglects the current knowledge. Bayes theorem is known since 1763 and, nevertheless, likelihood ratio is not even mentined in the book! Books of Evett and Weir or of Robertson and Vignaux cannot be substituted by this book. ...

Extremely helpful guide
During the extreme stress of preparing for a deposition,my lawyers prepared me for the facts,but not the technique.The examples and philosophy and clarity of writing in this book were INVALUABLE to me.I also found it to be helpfully in dealing with the tremendous emotional impact of the litigation.
Informative and readable
As an attorney who has represented clients on both sides of the proverbial isle, I plan to have my clients read this book before any deposition.Dr. Uribe sucessfully demisifies this process for the non-lawyer and makes it understandable to those who do not think like us.I believe this book gives several useful tools to help those not trained in the law navagate a difficult and stressful experience.Excellent work!

Outright ripoff
I am a plaintiff attorney and read this book out of outright curiosity. It got stars across the board, so I figured it was worth 50 bucks. I could not have been more wrong.Read more

Editorial Review

Anger and hurt tend to figure strongly in divorce, hand-in-hand with resentment, sadness, and fear about your future. And more often than not, these emotional woes all coalesce under the banner of money. Nolo Press is known for its thorough research and user-friendly approach to legal matters, and its book on

Take it from me, this is the best book
All the dueling reviews below would have you wonder about the quality of both "Divorce and Money" books, so as an experiment I got both. It's pretty clear that this book (Nolo's) is the better one, hands down. The difference was evident in just minutes. Everything's presented in easy to read verbiage, the charts are easy to use, and the forms and checklists were really handy. Helped me and my ex make the split easier than I expected, frankly. Thank you for this book!!

My new favorite book!
Okay I might be exagerating but I did love this book. A friend recommended it after my husband and I decide to "part ways." I accidently picked up the other book with the same title and was not so thrilled with all the Get A Attorney advice, but then I realized my mistake and got this version -- it's SO helpful. It almost took me by the hand and showed me how to be less emotional than I would be when making decisions affecting how to split our property and bills up, and how to figure out child support.

My eyes glazed over.........FELT LIKE I WAS IN LATIN CLASS!!
Read both books and all the reviews of 2 books with basically the same name and if you want more information in a MUCH MORE user friendly, readable (in English) format at 1/2 the price buy the other book by Smith, Divorce and Money Everything you need to know.I read a review that the Smith book just wants you to hire expensive lawyers.NOTHING could be further from the truth. No matter what, you need a lawyer and this book tells you the same thing. It doesn't mean you have to be stupid! As a normal, middle class guy with a college education and MY OWN BUSINESS this book makes you feel like you are in Latin Class again.Do your self a favor and not only buy Smith's book on Money get her book on Children.......you will save lots of time and stress. ...

Relevant & Useful Tool
Adverse Events, Stress & Litigation, A Physician's Guide, is the latest contribution by a pair of professionals who have spent the last three decades shedding light on a previously unmentioned subject.Sara Charles, MD and Paul Frisch, JD partnered to provide the most comprehensive and thoughtful review of this complex topic.This book explores adverse events and provides practical tips on how to disclose unexpected occurrences to the patient and/or family.The authors skillfully corroborated to provide the reader with a clear understanding of the litigation process.Numerous caveats are included that will assist defendants as they deal with the demands of litigation.To further add to this well-written text, numerous poignant case vignettes are provided.
Pertinent and Substantive!
Adverse Events, Stress and Litigation: A Physician's Guide was recommended to me by my daughter in pre-med. As an emergency physician with 30 years of experience in healthcare, I found this book a welcome addition to my continuing medical education.The authors provide an in depth synopsis of a topic which is fraught with anxiety for all physicians, medical malpractice.The book's unique strength lies in both content and format, setting it apart from other literature on the same topic.What it is NOT, is a sterile, didactic review on medical litigation.Rather, it walks the reader through the mine field of a claim or suit.It shines a light through the fog that is the legal process (and the associated attorney jargon) inherent in this stressful situation.Further, it provides the reader with tools to successfully navigate the system. Real life examples are integrated throughout, adding interest and even comfort.Every physician and physician-to-be should include this in their mandatory reading. I was surprised to find hope and solace in a book that is thoroughly informative and relevant. I highly recommend it.

Evocative, exceptional, and enlightening!
As a pre-med student I found this book incredibly informative.It provides a balanced and unique perspective on a very important issue.The use of real life situations makes the book both poignant and approachable to the lay person or professional.Every pre-medical, medical student and resident should read this book in preparation for their career.It adds depth and scope to ones understanding of the importance of patient safety, quality of care, and risk management.This book not only can help one avoid liability but can also provide a guide through the difficult and often foreign legal system surrounding medical malpractice. ...

Very informative and easy to follow
This book is an absolute life saver for those trying to muddle through the United State's fiance/spouse visa process. It include step-by-step and line-by-line instructions on all of the forms and tries to answer any questions you might have. It also includes checklists in the back for each visa process.

Excellent Book - Well Written and Highly Recommended
My wife and I were married in St. Petersburg, Russia.When I returned to the USA, I began the immigration process for her to obtain her visa so that we could be together as husband and wife.Not knowing the first thing about which forms to fill out, I did a lot of online research, and chose to purchase this book.
Better than a lawyer
And more cost effective too! This book provided answers to questions that an immigration lawyer couldn't. I found the book in a local library and decided to get my own copy because I have found it very useful. I am sure others will too! ... Read more
