Written specifically to be understood by lay people

Reprinted in a new Millennium Edition, Michael Minns' The Underground Lawyer is comprehensive, highly detailed introduction to the American legal system, written specifically to be understood by lay people. The next best thing to a law school education, The Underground Lawyer covers everything from criminal law to bankruptcy. A must for anyone with immediate need to quickly learn more about criminal or civil law, the judicial system, the role of the attorney, constitutional rights, bankruptcy, wills, or any other aspect of American jurisprudence.

Great Reference

As a litigator myself, I understand the overall complexities of "the law". However, I can't know everything about every aspect of law, so I refer lots of friends and clients to the Underground Lawyer to answer the questions I can't

thanks a million

Twenty years ago, I lost my husband in a crash. I was a widow at 25 and I wish I had had the underground lawyer then. This book is a real lifesaver when there's legal trouble around.

Best Book I have Ever Read

This is a brilliant insider look into the American judicial system. I can't believe he was allowd to publish so much unvarnished truth. I will buy anything this man writes!

A Must for Every Book Shelf

Who would think a book on law would be impossible to put down, but this one is. In fact, I made the mistake of setting the book down after reading it for an hour and my partner grabbed it and wouldn't let me have it back until he read it. This was the first real threat to our partnership. This book is not only interesting and entertaining, it may actually be one of the few that is useful too. When one of my children was recently arrested, I tried to get information as to her whereabouts, the charges, etc. with virtually no cooperation from any city or district attorneys nor the jail. I finally recalled Minns' recommendation to see a bondsman. I did and within 10-minutes had all the information regarding her. Minns' recommendations work. With the 100,000 new policemen Pres. Clinton put on the beat, everyone is more likely to have to deal with the legal community. Get this book and I promise you will be ahead in the legal game when you find you unexpectedly need to know what to do. I consider this one of the most valuable and useful books on my bookshelf. If my partner thinks he will get this one back, he's got that wrong.
