On Your Case gives women the tools they need to prepare anything the law might throw at them. From dating, marriage and kids to retirement and aging parents, this is the book every woman should have when trouble strikes—or before!

In On Your Case, Lisa Green finally fills a gap in women?s bookshelves with a thorough, compelling and occasionally hilarious guide to the range of legal issues women can expect to navigate in their busy lives. Leveraging her experience as a lawyer and a television journalist and legal analyst, Green explains common, even complicated, legal issues in practical, easy to understand terms. She uses court cases and vivid personal anecdotes to illustrate how readers can make smart decisions when problems arise. And legal problems will arise, Green counsels, so women need to get smart, and get ready.

In her warm, inviting voice, Green shares guidance on:

Babies, Children and Teens: Pregnancy and adoption, advocating for a special needs child, misbehaving teens
