BUY IT. READ IT. THEN READ IT AGAIN. AND AGAIN. EACH TIME YOU READ IT YOU WILL PICK UP YET ANOTHER USEFUL NUGGET OF INFORMATION. THE UNIQUE THING ABOUT THIS 'BIBLE' IS THAT IT IS USEFUL FOR THOSE WISHING TO PROTECT ASSETS FROM FUTURE CREDITORS, AND JUST AS USEFUL FOR THOSE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE, TRYING TO SEIZE ASSETS AS WELL. A VERY POWERFUL, DETAILED AND GENEROUS BOOK. NOT YOUR TYPICAL A/P BOOK. THE 'RIGHT' WAY TO SAFELY PROTECT YOUR ASSETS.

Asset protection.......2007-05-12

This well-written book does a great job of dispelling a lot of the mis-information that currently abounds in the market place.

Well researched.......2007-03-01

Jay Adkisson is my voice of reason in the field. This is heavily researched brain food for asset protection. The rule of law is constantly massaged and altered as the courts challenge provisions, and I always feel safest turning to Jay for his interpretation. In particular the Albright 291 Rptr. 538 ruling in Colorado has alot of LLC attorneys spooked. I'm sure we'll be hearing from Jay soon on this one.

Above the Norm.......2007-01-17

Asset protection is a good practical sense guide on the areas of trust, business entities and a dose of reality. If your at a point where the accumulated assets is worth protecting for yourself, spouse, kids and family then this is the book to read. Its not too technical but down to earth business sense. I find this book is geared to people that have some familarity with the business environment. If you know why you want to protect your assets then this book is the next step.

No Surprises Here.......2006-05-30

Adkisson and Riser are beacons in the darkness that is labeled asset protection. This book, and the attitudes it sets forth towards asset protection (when that term may be discretely used) are the de facto standard of care and woe be to the professional who believes otherwise. I say there are no surprises because the book is the embodiment of the professional, real life anti-scam viewpoint in this area Jay Adkisson has come to represent. Do not ignore the fact most of these five star reviews are by attorneys like myself who see the aftermath of so-called asset protection, off-shore entities and third world trusts. Don't miss it.

Book Description

This book provides frameworks and methodology for solving problems as technology continues to advance. A "top-down" approach is used, starting with the overall business problem, and then showing how technology can solve the problem. This book goes into depth in describing the technology and is very "hands-on" and current. It is designed for the IT employees who actually build networks and not the managers who merely oversee.

Customer Reviews:

New information taught well.......2004-06-08

This book conveys information technology aspects in a serious maner. How the information technology relates to business is elucidated very well. Case studies are provided at the end of each chapter and are applicable to real-life problems.

At the end of each chapter are discussion questions to help review important points presented in the chapter.

Answers to the chapter cases and the questions can be acquired from the publishing company.

I appreciate this book since it has taught me how business and information technology depend on each other to produce a profitable company. This book presents information technology aspects in a clear and concise manner, as compared to other IT books that delve into lingo and the like.

Applied Data Communications - A Business Oriented Approach.......2001-04-26

Unlike many books, written on today's technology issues, Jim approaches this topic from the business perspective. This top-down approach allows one to understand how a set of technologies maps to the business drivers. This books looks at business impact from a business management perspective. Moreover, this book covers a range of topics that allow the reader to understand the complexity, and interrelationships, of today's distributed internetworking environment.

The reader will be exposed to layered architectures - understanding how they interrelate, yet remain separate. The topics range from an overview of Data Communications - including voice, through local area networking - protocols and OSs, WANs, internetworking and remote access. The book closes with coverage of the network development life cycle, network management and security.

What sets this book apart from many is the way Jim approaches technology solutions based upon business drivers and criteria. Technology, in and of itself, does not enhance a business' ability to deliver value. However, when one approaches technology solutions, or innovation, based upon business criteria they are more likely to add value to the bottom line. Jim encapsulates the concept of value added technology solutions in his presentation of data communications. This book is well written, concise, and understandable - a must read for individuals focused on technology and business!

Book Description

This book, depending on the reader, addresses some of the ideal, academic, practical, or even misguided aspects of offshore planning. Hunter does not propose to discuss the pitfalls or complaints that an individual, business, planner, or regulatory authority may experience. But because offshore planning is nearly impossible to master in its entirety, his objective is that no part of his work be in error; that, where error exists, it be amended; and that some part of it be a practical contribution and improvement, though naturally minor and limited, between idealizing and demonizing the private and regulatory field of offshore planning.

Hunter attempts to demonstrate who the prosperous are and why transfers of wealth offshore become, or may become, a part of their planning. The underlying human, economic, political, and legal reasons for going offshore are more or less embedded in complex discussions of international relations and organizations; laws, lawsuits, and damages or awards; government regulations of business, confiscations of individual or business property, and government prosecution or imprisonment of individuals, businesspersons, or professionals; taxes and tax policy, property rights and the civil liberties that emanate therefrom; business or estate planning, which involves asset protection; and investments and investment planning.

Customer Reviews:

Almost useless..........1999-10-18

I didn't take a thing away from this book except that couples fight over money, that couples fight over money, and that couples fight over money.

I was hoping to find information and advice that would help my transition from being a single person to a married one, but didn't get anything beyond suggestions like keeping a "Fight Diary" so that we can see trends in our fighting habits.

"Personal Finance For Dummies (2nd Edition)" was much more useful.

Excellent guide with real life advice on budgeting.......1998-07-07

If you've been looking for a guide on controlling the money flow in your household that goes beyond the elementary suggestions of setting up categories and recording expenses, something any good PC home finance program can handle, this is it. Adriane G. Berg's experience as a divorce attorney has exposed her to every kind of squabble possible between spouses over money. In this book she has laid out concrete suggestions and a methodology of handling money that will preserve each partner's self esteem and minimize arguments. So often after reading other texts, I am tempted to ask, "Yeah, but how you really do that with your spouse." Here are the answers. I would recommend this to anyone who like to improve budgeting and funds control in their household.
