Book Description

26 April 2012
Mr Loophole, Britain's highest profile lawyer reveals his loophole secrets to help you with the law.

Nick Freeman is Britain's highest profile lawyer. He has won more cases and attracts more media attention than any other lawyer practising in this country today.

Nicknamed Mr Loophole by the press for his success in using legal technicalities to get clients acquitted, his career as a criminal defence lawyer has been nothing short of stratospheric. His roll call of stellar defendants - which includes Jimmy Carr, Sir Alex Ferguson, David Beckham and Ronnie O`Sullivan - ranges from actors and sporting heroes to pop stars and captains of industry.

Mr Loophole is famous for forming winning, quirky and innovative defences - even when a case appears indefensible. In the process, he has revolutionised the way in law -particularly motoring law - is practised.

In this book, Nick explains his unique approach to the law and in the process identifies his killer loophole principles which make it possible to win even in the face of almost certain defeat. Each principle is illustrated with cases that show how he has deployed his pioneering strategies to devastating effect. In the process the reader is given a ringside seat to thrilling courtroom drama and taken on a lively and engaging journey into the heart of the judicial system.

There's no doubt that Nick's personality has significantly impacted on his approach to fighting and winning cases. His revealing personal anecdotes and backroom stories, offer a unique insight into a brilliant mind at work.

Product Description

Review

'There are only a couple of people I really admire and Nick Freeman is one of them. The way he performed in court was unbelievable. He's the best in the business.' -- Ronnie O'Sullivan

About the Author

Nick Freeman had intended to pursue a career in corporate law. However after being entered for and winning an advocacy competition, he took a job as a prosecutor for Greater Manchester Police in 1981. It was at that stage that he realised the huge benefit of knowing the law intricately to secure success in the courtroom - the precursor to his Mr Loophole technique. In 1983, he moved to a large firm of criminal lawyers in Manchester and was made a partner within six months. Although his work involved representing those facing serious criminal charges such as murder, fraud and rape, he established an unparalleled reputation for winning road traffic cases. At the age of 42 he left to go it alone and established his own law practice, Freeman and Co. His cases involving clients such as Katie Price, David Beckham and Colin Montgomerie are widely reported across the media. And he frequently appears on radio and television to offer comment on topical matters of the law. He makes regular contributions to the Sunday Times motoring pages and writes a monthly opinion column in the Manchester Evening News. Follow Nick on Twitter @TheMrLoophole.

2.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious! 10 Sep 2012
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Not going to learn much law and procedure from this book if you're a half decent lawyer, but the book is at least so smug that it becomes entertainment in itself.

The real problem is a failure to raise the reading age above 10yrs old. Although if this was the intention they've done a good job. The contents are a host of trite observations on life/career/family that can be found in any teenagers diary. Add to this a thin veneer of jurisprudential self justification that's about A level standard..... and you get the picture. If anything the book is a good lesson in failure to establish a meaningful set of life priorities.

Good for a laugh are the constant references to car makes and models as if somehow this was vitally important. A Character is therefore described not as "character X" but 'Character X with an Aston Martin V8".... YEAH!

All a bit Jeremy Clarkson becomes a paralegal for my taste. But then what do i know?.... I drive The New NIssan Satsuma. :(

My own view is that there' s a book there for adult readers - but this isn't it. Instead it's been aimed at (I'm guessing) 10year old boys for whom the constant car and status references will be a turn-on.

whilst this guy sounds like the worst kind of husband, i loved the way that he is such a nit picker, it made me think about the way i conduct my business and how the devil is in the detail. A rewarding read and whilst its probably a one time read, if you deal with law of legal issues for a living it's of interest.

Brilliant. Too many people just pay to save hassle. Not me! If you research and represent yourself firstly in writing you can often succeed without cost.
