From the beginning of his teaching career, as part of each class, Mr. Matthews decided to incorporate a few minutes at the start of class to offer "Attorney Advice" regarding things he had experienced or learned during his practice that would be helpful for a new attorney to know sooner rather than later.Many students have asked that the "Attorney Advice" be put into a book. This is the result of those requests.
