This review is from: American Bar Association Family Legal Guide (third edition): Everything your family needs to know about the law and real estate, consumer protection, ... Association Complete Personal Legal Guide) (Paperback)

Have you ever said to yourself, "They can't do that to me. It's not legal."? Only, you weren't really sure that what they were doing was illegal and you didn't want to rush out to hire a lawyer to find out for sure. Well, if you buy this book, the next time that happens you won't need a lawyer to find out whether you have a case or not. It will even tell you if you should get a lawyer. The AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION FAMILY LEGAL GUIDE is an easy read, it's organized well, and it covers most of the legal questions that occur in the lives of the majority of us. It's a very useful book.
