As lawyers we are used to copping a lot of stick for our reputation as greedy, money-scrambling scumbags. It is a stereotype that, while annoying me no end, is the driving factor behind the way I approach my profession. You see, as a lawyer, I firmly believe that I make a difference.

Building a House? Save money AND your sanity.
My wife loves nothing better than a project (probably symptomatic of her chosen profession as a high school teacher). So I wasn’t too surprised then when she came to me with grand ideas of building a holiday house. “It will be fun,” she told me, “think of it as an adventure.” When I finished rolling my eyes I proceeded to remind her of all the problems associated with the process of … [Read more...]

To be fair, even I feel bad calling this person a celebrity will, but hey, like I say, everyone needs a Will!! A few weeks back my interest was piqued when I read a news headline suggesting that, according to a recently released Will, “Osama bin Laden left millions of … [Read more...]
