Autorenporträt

Self-Counsel Press is the premier source for self-help law books and books for small business. All of our legal titles are written by lawyers who practise in the field they are writing about. Our business books are written by experts on the topic. People who have "been there, done that" in the businesses they write about, and know how to clearly and simply describe what they have learned. We are proud to have been the pioneer publisher of self-help law titles in North America when we launched our first Divorce Guide in 1971.
