Joined by 5 leading specialists in the legal industry, Mr. Kessler's book presents crucial advice to attorneys and their staffs through the use of entertaining and insightful anecdotes. Thirty-five myths are presented to the reader, ranging from low fees to rolodex use. Legal professionals will clearly identify these areas of misdirection, recognize how they impact their own practices, and learn what to do to avoid the downside that typically comes from each.
