Testimonials

"By Lawyers has really helped our firm to navigate a range of complex legal matters".

"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".

"We found starting with By Lawyers an absolute necessity, as it provides an impressive library of precedents".

"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!"
