I really enjoyed the concise way Dr. Mart delivered the information. There are a lot of good resources to pull from and links/info for further enhancement of your knowledge. A must read for anyone new to the area of forensics! It was a huge resource in organizing my practice more efficiently

This is a book I wish I had when I started private practice. It provides a great orientation to the key issues relevant to establishing a successful practice, and also offers a lot for those already working in the area.
