The Empowered Paralegal: Working with the Elder Client Book Review

Aug 10, 2010

I don't know what it was that I expected when I picked up a copy of Robert Mongue's latest book, "The Empowered Paralegal: Working with the Elder Client" but that wasn't as important as the fact that I just couldn't put it down.
