About the Authors
John Ventura is an attorney and a nationally known authority and advocate
on consumer law and financial issues. As a boy, he dreamed of becoming a
Catholic priest so he could help others. To prepare for that career, he spent
his high school years in a seminary. After graduation, John decided he could
best pursue his dream by combining journalism with the law, so he earned a
degree in both from the University of Houston.
Today, John is the Director of the Texas Consumer Complaint Center at the
University of Houston Law School and an associate professor at the Law
School. Prior to joining the Law School, John was the owner of four law
offices in South Texas, where he provided bankruptcy services to consum-
ers and small business owners and also worked in the area of consumer law.
His goal as an attorney and as an author is to provide everyday people with
the information and advice they need to make the laws work for them, not
against them.
John has written 17 books on consumer and small-business legal and finan-
cial matters and is the author of Managing Debt For Dummies and Law For
Dummies (Wiley). He has written for Home Offi ce Computing and Small Business
Computing magazines and for many years he wrote a regular column for a
Texas business journal and hosted a weekly radio program on legal issues.
John has been quoted about consumer legal issues in a wide variety of pub-
lications including Newsweek, The Wall Street Journal, Money, Kiplinger’s
Personal Finance Magazine, Black Enterprise, Inc., Bottom Line Personal, and
Martha Stewart’s Living, among others. His advice has also been featured on
such Web sites as MSNMoney.com, Bankrate.com, and Marketwatch.com. He
has also been interviewed on MarketPlace Morning (American Public Radio),
Morning Edition (NPR), CNN, CNBC, Bloomberg Television & Radio, the Fox
News Channel, the Lifetime Network and numerous national and local radio
programs.
Mary Reed writes about financial and legal issues affecting consumers and
small-business owners. She coauthored Divorce For Dummies and Managing
Debt For Dummies (Wiley), Good Advice for a Bad Economy (Berkley), and
Stop Debt Collectors (Credit.com). She has ghostwritten 13 other books
for consumers and small business owners and has also written for Good
Housekeeping Magazine, Home Offi ce Computing Magazine, Hispanic Business,
as well as for several Texas newspapers.
