NOLO, 2006

Great book!
Great book. Just one comment. A lot of the text in this book is identical to the text in Tax Deductions for Professionals. You don't need both books; choose one.

Get It Together: Organize Your Records So Your Family Won't Have To

Melanie Cullen, Shae Irving

NOLO, 2005

Covered All The Bases...And More
I bought this book thru Amazon in June 2006 because of my experiences working with a close friend who had just lost his father rather unexpectedly. My friend faced a monstrous task of trying to track down his father's assets, business records, last will, credit accounts, etc. just to scratch the surface. As a participant in his frustration, I began to think about the arrangement of my personal ...

All the legal tips, tricks and traps explained
Plenty of books impart the basics of how to work independently - but too few include all the legal tips, tricks and traps involved.

David Wayne Brown

NOLO, 2005

Great book, Best way to get direction...
Used this book to get a sense of how to fight my ticket. While the book did not specifically cover my citation (HOV), it did give me some direction on how to approach it and the best way to go about it. It is an excellent way to start and most beneficial for those who have minor violations dealing with stop signs, lane changes and speeding. I highly recommend it. I took my case to court and ...

Denis Clifford

NOLO, 2007

Simple and straightforward - includes CD with forms!
This book (6th edition) has taken a BIG weight off of my mind regarding writing a will. My husband and I currently don't have a will (and apparently have lots of company - reportedly 60% of Americans don't have wills), but I am in the process of changing that with the reassuring help of this book. Yes, you CAN write your own legal will, and it truly isn't difficult. As this book points ...

Home Business Tax Deductions: Keep What You Earn

8 reviews
Stephen Fishman

NOLO, 2006

Great help for Schedule C and 8829
I'm working on my schedule C and 8829 and every so often I get to a question I don't understand. I go to the IRS instructions and their web site and it's as clear as used motor oil. It's enough to drive you insane. Picked up this book and it's spelled out in plain English. No need to read a passage five times to understand. As others have stated, you need this BEFORE you start your ...

Represent Yourself In Court: How to Prepare & Try a Winning Case (Represent Yourself in Court)

7 reviews
Paul Bergman, Sara J. Berman-Barrett, ...

NOLO, 2006

The best friend for pro se litigants in the strange land of law.
This is one of the best books I have read and enjoyed about pro se litigation. The large font, great white space, and properly displayed summary tables render the book easy to endure and utilize. The authors offer many proverbs and examples for lay people that alleviate the harshness of legal lingo. Moreover, they even translate the formal and non-technical English words into layman's language. ...

Nolo's Essential Guide to Buying Your First Home (book with CD-Rom & Audio)

9 reviews
Ilona Bray, Alayna Schroeder, ...

NOLO, 2007

Excellent comprehensive guide, yet easy to understand
For me, because this is the only first-time buyer's guide that discusses in detail issues around getting a personal gift or personal loan towards purchasing a home, it already deserves 5 stars. But it's more than just that. This is a very comprehensive guide with a helpful accompanying CD-ROM. The materials are organized clearly and presented in an easy-to-understand manner. I had read ...
