BREAKING VOWS I am sure that Henry Brookman has had a great deal of interest following his firm's recent advertising campaign.

As we all know, there is no such thing as bad publicity.

I am a family lawyer myself and I think the ads are in poor taste.

Far from making me laugh, they made me sad.

I don't condemn his firm for looking for business.

I am of the school of thought that when a marriage breaks down it is important to have someone qualified on side to deal with all the implications.

Nor am I so naive to think that if there were no divorce lawyers, there would also be no divorce.

In truth, there would probably just be bad divorces.What makes me so sick is the fact that the ads positively encourage people to bail out of their marriages, the same marriages that they made lifelong vows and commitments to.

These ads are not aimed at those who have suffered physical abuse or other such extreme circumstances to justify the slogans used.

Rather they are aimed at rich City types who are simply frustrated in their designer marriages.

There is already a temptation in society to regard marriage as yet another disposable asset and these ads simply state that, after 'one too many' in a City wine bar, it's totally acceptable to say 'stuff it' and head straight to the divorce court.

Those involved in this area of law or anyone who has experienced divorce and relationship breakdown first hand will know that the emotional cost is huge.
