It’s Never Been Easier to Hire the Wrong Attorney
David W. Craig’s It’s Never Been Easier to Hire the Wrong Attorney is a sharp, eye-opening guide that walks readers through the legal landscape of attorney advertising and the pitfalls of picking a lawyer based on flash rather than facts. It starts with a chilling story, a catastrophic injury case that settled for pennies on the dollar because the victim’s family chose the wrong lawyer, and builds from there into a methodical, deeply researched argument about how legal marketing, both traditional and digital, can mislead the average person. Craig uses decades of experience to explain the evolution of legal advertising, why it can be so deceptive, and how to make better decisions when choosing legal help. The book also includes step-by-step guidance on how to identify and vet qualified attorneys.
This book stirred up a lot of frustration for me. Not because of how it was written, the writing is clear, blunt, and well-paced, but because the truth it reveals is maddening. Craig pulls no punches when explaining how law firms use billboards, flashy websites, and even hospital “runners” to scoop up vulnerable clients. The whole system is tilted in favor of those with marketing muscle, not legal skill. It felt a little like being told the magician’s secrets after already falling for the trick. At times, I wanted to shout, “How is this still allowed?” But that’s exactly what makes the book valuable. It’s not just a warning, it’s a toolkit for pushing back. His passion for protecting clients from bad outcomes shines through every page.
What I also liked was Craig’s honesty. He admits that there are good lawyers who don’t meet every “ideal” checklist he outlines and that the process isn’t foolproof. He isn’t selling himself or scaring the reader into hiring him, he’s educating with purpose. I appreciated that. The writing never talks down to you. It respects the reader’s intelligence, even as it challenges common assumptions. Some chapters were dense with stats and legal history, which dragged a little, but the real-world stories and practical advice made up for it. I especially liked the final chapters where he lays out how to actually find the right lawyer without getting tricked by marketing noise.
I think this book is a must-read for anyone who might someday need a lawyer, which, frankly, is most people. It’s especially good for those dealing with serious injury cases, criminal charges, or high-stakes family law situations. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by attorney ads or unsure where to turn after something bad happens, this book will be a lifeline. I wouldn’t call it light reading, but it’s certainly essential. Craig’s voice is steady, caring, and often quietly furious about the damage done when people trust the wrong person at the worst time.

DAD’S CHILD CUSTODY ACTION PLAN – Insider Secrets for Family Court Success
David Pisarra’s Dad’s Child Custody Action Plan is a no-nonsense guide for fathers navigating the treacherous waters of family court. It’s direct, personal, and practical. Pisarra lays out a roadmap from preparing paperwork to presenting evidence that’s clearly geared toward empowering dads to take control of their custody battles. He covers everything from legal strategy and courtroom behavior to emotional preparation and communication tactics, all while reminding readers that the legal system isn’t always fair but can be managed with preparation and grit.
Reading this book felt like sitting down with a seasoned lawyer who’s been through it all and isn’t afraid to call out the system’s flaws. Pisarra’s tone is conversational and raw, which makes the heavy topic a bit easier to digest. I appreciated his honesty, especially when he warns about the limits of AI research or the traps dads often fall into by not preparing thoroughly. Some parts made me laugh, not because they were funny, but because of how blunt and relatable they were. It’s rare to find a legal guide that isn’t dry, but this one has heart and bite.
Still, it’s not polished in the traditional sense, and that’s kind of the point. Pisarra isn’t writing for academics—he’s writing for guys in the trenches. At times, the repetition and scattered layout felt a bit chaotic, like flipping through a stack of Post-it notes. But the core advice is rock solid. The “Kid Inventory,” the courtroom scripts, the emphasis on preparation—all of it is gold for someone trying to survive the emotional and strategic rollercoaster of family court. You can feel the author’s passion for helping dads reclaim their role, and it’s genuinely moving.
This isn’t a book for the bookshelf; it’s one for the glove compartment, your nightstand, or your gym bag. If you’re a dad facing a custody battle, especially one without deep pockets or a supportive legal team, this book is for you. It doesn’t sugarcoat the process, and that’s what makes it powerful. It’s real, raw, and ridiculously helpful.
