Testimonials
"I have found the Wills, Powers and Advance Care Directives publication to be very useful. I now have a small family law matter to do – not an area I usually practice in. I am considering purchasing the By Lawyers Family Law publication as I found the other publication very useful".
"I use By Lawyers in my family law and estates practice. My assistant uses the commentaries to help her progress matters when I am not there, and I use 101 Family Law Answers for more detailed research on case law when I need it. We use the precedents such as orders, letters, and wills. I feel safe knowing that my By Lawyers precedents are always kept up to date, so I don’t have to worry about the documents I’m using being wrong. This allows me to concentrate on my clients. As a sole practitioner, I find By Lawyers enormously helpful, I’d be lost without it!"
"By Lawyers has really helped our firm to navigate a range of complex legal matters".
"We found starting with By Lawyers an absolute necessity, as it provides an impressive library of precedents".
