I am extremely important

Hello,

My name is Jillian Ivey Sidoti. I use my maiden name not to be one of those hyphenated jerks, but because if you were to search the California Bar website for my name under "Jillian Sidoti", alas, you will not find me.

I am an attorney in California. Like most attorneys, I think I am very important and like to use big words as to confuse those around me. Also like most attorneys, I am an attorney because I can't hack it as a doctor. (I was never good at the "sciences" if you will, and I don't like the sight of blood.) If you will notice, I am located in California - this makes me even more of a pariah....fun!

I am also a professor at the University of Redlands. I teach business, finance, and accounting. I am not sure why they won't let me teach law...maybe it's because they don't have a law school...at least I am hoping that's the reason. This designation of "professor" allows me to be even more pompous.

So why am I here? Well, so I can bestow all of my wonderful knowledge on you, silly! Isn't that exciting? I knew you would be excited! And guess what? It's all FREE! I am going to give you FREE information. Hopefully you will find it as useful as the folks who pay me for it....

However, before I go on, here is the legal disclaimer that you must expect from an attorney:

Now, I would have been an awful attorney if I did not write that....

So with that out of the way - enjoy reading. I hope you find something useful here!
