Avoiding Legal Pitfalls That Can Come Back to Bite You at Work, at Home, and at Play
So Sue Me, JACKASS! by Amy Epstein Feldman and Robin Epstein is a book that will answer all the legal questions you've been afraid to ask - no matter how outlandish they may be - and it does it in a practical, easy to understand and humorous way.
Amy is a nationally syndicated legal columnist and general counsel for The Judge Group, Inc.
, an international business solutions provider.
She's been asked every question you can imagine and then some.
Friends, relatives and employees go to her for a multitude of reasons, not the least being she doesn't charge them $200 per hour for a consultation.
Her sister Robin is an author, stand-up comic and former sitcom writer.
She convinced Amy she should write a book - that it would be incredibly useful for people who don't have a relative who's a lawyer.
Robin is a television writer but she shares a love of the law with her sister.
Together they wrote So Sue Me, JACKASS! The book is divided into topics and written in a question and answer format that is easy-to-use and fun to read.
The sisters offer sanity-saving legal advice that entertains while giving you peace of mind.
I was hooked as soon as I started reading Chapter 1: Your Job - Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It's Off to Sell Your Soul to the Devil You Go! Amy answers such questions as - Is it illegal to make people work on National holidays? The short answer is NO.
Or how about - Do you have any rights when it comes to a smelly coworker? Well, it depends where you work.
The sisters offer some practical advice in case your town doesn't have an official policy for stinky employees.
Boy, I could have used some of this advice in my previous life as a municipal drone.
But even if the questions don't pertain to your life they're still informative and entertaining.
The author's stories and humor make them a hoot to read.
It's useful and fun and highly recommended.
There is a disclaimer.
This book is not meant to be a substitute for getting your own lawyer should you need one.
As Amy says "Let the very first piece of legal knowledge I bestow be this: He who acts as his own lawyer has a jackass for a client.
