'In the tradition of James Herriot and countless other writers who have celebrated human values over gimmicky plotlines, this book shines with humour and warmth.

The idiosyncratic clients that Steve encounters during his travails in the criminal justice system, and the humanity with which he records his experiences, makes for a charming - not to mention hilarious - read . '

'We are two middle-aged (ouch!) women from America. I read your book on the flight back home and finished it within a couple of days. It was loads of fun. I became fond of you, your friends, and even your clients. Good Work. I will pass it on to all of our lawyer friends. I wish you great success with your book.'

- Barbara Guzzo, Ohio (2 October 2006)

'I heard you on Radio 4, and decided to go out and buy the book, I read the whole book in 1 day. What a joy to read, truth is stranger than fiction. I am recommneding this book to my friends, and I am constantly reading it and going back to it. Its USP is for me a great pick me up, better than any therapy, and the laughter works.

Many thanks for a great read !!'
