Praise for Divorce and Domestic Relations Litigation:

"What is striking [about Divorce and Domestic Relations Litigation] is the clear, straightforward style. This book should have many audiences beyond just the financial community. The discussion of legal process would be helpful to the general public, clients, law students, and practicing attorneys. The book's major strength is readability. To make the legal process clear is an art form."

Attorney, mediator, and court administrator
