Buy this book. I was so impressed with the details and suggestions that I sent an e-mail to colleagues and friends. The specificity may seem mundane at first, but you will appreciate it if you have a question about a work related concern that seems less than legit. Face it, no one wants to hire an attorney and with a little assistance, such as the tips in the book, an attorney may not be necessary or you will be able to proceed in a way that is beneficial in the future, if you do need an attorney. Check out the prices on the used books - you are not putting this one on your coffee table
