5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent resource, whether or not you will use an attorney!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Guardianship Book: How to Become a Child's Guardian in California (Guardianship Book for California) (Paperback)
As an attorney who regularly represents clients in
guardianship proceedings, I strongly recommend that
my clients read The Guardianship Book so that they
understand the sometimes confusing process. In some
cases, I hand the book to my clients during our
first meeting, as "homework" to read before I will
prepare and file a petition. For those who cannot
afford an attorney, I recommend this as a resource
that will save considerable time and avoid court
hearing delays. For clients who can afford to pay
my fees, the book still saves my time explaining
many issues -- the $25 book can easily save $250
in attorney fees. (Mark J. Welch, Pleasanton, CA)

A must if you want to avoid a money sucking lawyer,
By vlady@flash.net (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Guardianship Book How to Become a Child's Guardian in California (Paperback)
I recently became a guardian of my young nephew but could not afford and didn't want to deal with a lawyer. This book made it possible. It layed out the steps in a well structured manner. I was very satisfied with my purchase. The forms it included with the book were just great. Buy it.
