Reviews

"packed to the brim with pragmatic and down-to-earth advice on how to deal with the typical problems and issues that arise for every matrimonial lawyer ... anybody about to embark on a training contract would be well advised to read this book ... I would also strongly recommend it for those already in practice. As a matrimonial lawyer there are very few books that you will ever read cover to cover. Make this book an exception"
