Life After Law

“If I am honest, I had been drinking too much for many years at the Bar. I’m ashamed to say I was a functioning alcoholic, along with many of my peers. Once I retired, the wheels totally came off, and I ended up in rehab very shortly thereafter. A colleague of mine recommended the Life After Law course, and I discussed it with the chap who was counselling me. He took a look at the website and concluded that it was certainly worth looking into.

Whilst my problems are far from over, and it will be a long road to recovery, I signed up for Martin’s course a number of months ago and I have found it invaluable. The various strategies Martin engages have helped me give my life purpose again. It is a major tool in my armoury. A godsend.”

“I was bored and at my wit’s end – and my wife was getting more and more frustrated with me too! I went from a high-octane pressurised job to nothing overnight, and the stress of that was incredible. It soon became a nightmare rather than it being the nirvana I thought it would be.

With Martin’s help, I managed to get things back on track and over time to function again in a productive and enjoyable way. I have also lost a lot of weight, which has been an added bonus!”

“What first attracted me to Life After Law was the fact that Martin had obviously walked in the same shoes as me during his professional life. I shopped around and was unimpressed with all the so-called gurus who promised the world. To be honest, none of them resonated with me. Their approach seemed to smack of tree hugging!

Martin seemed to have a real handle on what it was like to lead a stressful high-pressure life in the Law and seemed to have real answers to real problems. I wasn’t disappointed. His no nonsense approach to life during retirement really works on every level. It’s as simple as that.”

B.D, Retired Counsel

“I knew Martin in practice. I had been a fellow Personal Injury lawyer and often wondered why he retired so young! After immersing myself in Life After Law for 4 months, I now know the answer. Martin approaches the problem of ageing in retirement with the same gusto he showed during his legal career. Practical solutions to real problems.”

M.J, Retired PI Solicitor

“I am still in practice, although I plan to retire within the next 2 years. I came across Martin on LinkedIn and was impressed by his credentials and the fact that he had been in the profession himself. I watched one of his presentations and was impressed by his advice to prepare in advance of retirement and to have a plan rather than just leaving things to chance.

I have already started employing the strategies advocated by Martin across all three of the Pillars – mental, physical and nutritional. I now feel much better prepared for retirement and can’t wait to ramp up the stuff I am now doing once the day actually comes.”

“When I retired, I was about 5 stone overweight. My wife had been telling me for years that I was heading for trouble, and when I went for a check-up I was horrified to find that I was borderline diabetic. Even that didn’t convince me. The turning point for me was when a good friend of mine, also a former Solicitor, but slightly younger and significantly lighter than I was, had a fatal heart attack, leaving his wife and 2 teenage children devastated.

That was my wake-up call, and I contacted Martin via his website. I decided that I was not going to become just another statistic and dedicated myself to following the guidance given to the letter. At the time of my 14 day review, I had already lost 10 lbs. Admittedly, that weight loss slowed over the ensuing weeks and months, but it has continued steadily over 4 months. I recently had another check-up, and my GP couldn’t believe the difference in my results. His exact words were, ‘Whatever you are doing, just keep doing it’, and that’s good enough for me.”

N.S, Retired Solicitor

“What I like most about the Life After Law course is that you never feel as though you are just a number. I know Martin limits the number of clients to 20 at any one time, and this really shows. It is a truly bespoke course. The personal consultancy element is invaluable, and it takes all the guesswork out of the experience. Probably like most people, I had been on various ‘health kicks’ throughout my adult life, but I just couldn’t stick to them. They were unrealistic and just too hard. What I like about Martin’s programme is the way he really drills down into exactly what it is you are trying to achieve and how strategies can be developed to meet those aspirations.

Instead of wishy-washy concepts, Martin and I agreed on solid objectives which centred around activities that I actually enjoyed doing. That way, becoming fitter and getting the most out of life actually became enjoyable. My resultant higher level of physical fitness was almost a byproduct of the activities I was relishing getting back into.”

R.D, Retired Counsel

“At 62, I had never been in a gym in my life. I knew nothing about nutrition, and I was incredibly unfit. I was one of those people who thought gyms were full of Neanderthals. I was recommended to the Life After Law programme by another retired Solicitor who had signed up 6 months earlier. I have known this guy all my professional life and couldn’t believe the changes in him – both physical and mental. Both my wife and I were very impressed by Martin right from the first Zoom meeting. He really seemed to have a handle on the problems I was facing. With Martin’s help, and my wife’s support, my fitness levels have improved significantly, and I am only 2 months into the course. The personal consultancy is also great as it means I can discuss any sticking points and overcome them.”

M.W, Retired Solicitor

“I am so pleased that my husband discovered Life after Law. As a workaholic senior partner, he had no hobbies and very few friends outside the profession, and I was dreading him retiring. Life after Law gave him
the focus he needed, and we now enjoy a happy retirement. I particularly liked that Martin included me from the beginning. I was then able to help Peter and keep him on track!”

Emily

“From the first Zoom call, it was obvious to me that Life after Law could be the very thing that my partner needed. He took a bit more persuasion, but I could see the benefits of the course from the start and encouraged him to sign up. He is now a convert! 2 stones lighter and with a renewed passion for photography, he is out with his new camera club friends most weekends, leaving me free to get on with my own activities.”

Margaret

“Life after Law has been a godsend for me and my husband. I joined the initial Zoom call with Martin and was impressed by the range of content on the course. I particularly like the practical, no-nonsense advice and tips, which make it easy to follow. I decided to follow the course with my husband and am delighted to have shed some excess weight and have got a lot fitter. We can now enjoy the long walks in the Yorkshire dales that we did with our children when we were younger.

Thank you, Martin!”
