Celebrity Divorce Attorney Stacy D. Phillips Debuts Divorce: It's All About Control-How to Win The Emotional, Psychological and Legal Wars (PDF) Beverly Hills Times December 2005

I think there is a real need for books like this, books that examine and try to explain the psychological warfare that attends so many divorces. I agree wholeheartedly with the words of Harvey Levin, printed on the back cover: This book is not just for people coping with divorce. Its just as valuable for people coping with relationships. It is absolutely true that this kind of strife is present outside of the bonds of marriage, especially nowadays, when so many people eschew marriage entirely but must still deal with the ramifications of breakups when they occur. I especially liked the fact that the author included personalized worksheets in this bookit makes for a more interactive reading experience, and readers will certainly appreciate their practicality. Stacy Phillips has done wonderful work here, and this book will no doubt be useful to many readers. - Writers Digest Book Awards

Leah Andreone: An Amazing Read, January 30, 2006

While reading "Divorce: It's All About Control" I felt as if I was witnessing Stacy's accumulated years of learning people's psyches, feeling for people in their most painful of moments and listening to her clients only to understand them sometimes better than they understood themselves. Not only did I learn from the book I was pacified by Stacy's approach in helping the reader gain knowledge of themselves and those around them. I recommend this book to you whether you are going through a divorce or just have a desire to understand human nature more deeply.

E. Pan: More than just a legal guide, February 2, 2006

For anyone contemplating divorce and wondering what the whole process will be like, this is the book to read. Phillips manages to take a complex legal and emotional situation and lay it out in a way that is easy to understand. She prepares you for the process by introducing you to all the situations that might arise and all the players that are involved. She encourages you by acknowledging the emotional difficulties stemming from a divorce and giving you positive solutions to a negative situation. This book is like having a friend and legal counselor by your side.

Cherie Kerr: Where was "Divorce: It's All About Control" years ago??, February 6, 2006

I so enjoyed every page of Ms. Phillips' fine book! Having gone through more than one divorce, I would have been thrilled to have had this insightful book beside me through such difficult times. I really appreciate the way Ms. Phillips speaks directly and candidly to the reader. Everything she says is easy to understand and extremely enlightening. I love the pop quizzes. I also love the "scenes"(I saw myself in more than one!). I have already recommended this book to several people. No one should even think about a divorce until they have this helpful guide. What strikes me most about this book is Phillips' wonderful sense of balance between imparting knowledge, lifting the reader's spirits and offering up perfect helpings of humor.

Shannon Dugger: What a great book!, February 7, 2006

I am happily married, but because I have a few friends going through divorce I thought I would pick up a copy of Divorce: It's All About Control for my friends: one who is having an especially hard time. As I glanced through the pages, I found I couldn't put it down. I think it's a good book for people who are going through a divorce, but I think anyone who is married should read it. I sure did, every page! This book might help married couples avoid a divorce! What a great book. I loved the cartoons and sure liked the way Ms. Phillips explained things. She makes it easy to understand what happens and why people are so combative during a divorce.

Daniel G. Couvrette: Must read for divorcing people, February 8, 2006

As the publisher of Divorce Magazine a lot of books about divorce come across my desk and this is one of the best I've seen. Stacy provides honest, straight forward advice from a very experienced and competent lawyers point of view.
I highly recommend it.

Mark Goulston: A Happy Marriage, it's all about giving up control, February 8, 2006

Marriages begin to deteriorate when they fail to appreciate how damaging trying to contol each other becomes. And when they turn that deadly corner past the point of no return toward divorce, it's all about control.

Ironically and sadly each spouse does not see themselves as controlling, but merely defending themselves against their partner who they perceive is trying to control them.

If this dynamic speaks to you and you're heading towards the end, you'll want to read this terrific, book by prominent Los Angeles family attorney, Stacy D. Phillips.

Despite the title, this book can also help you save your marriage and prevent divorce if you will take Ms. Phillips wise counsel to heart and apply it to your relationship.

Joan Kessler (Los Angeles, Calif.): It's All About Control, March 20, 2006

The book is excellent! I have given it to friends and clients who are involved in divorce proceedings, who are finished with the divorce or are happily married! This book is helpful to anyone who is or has been or may become involved in a relationship.

D. Moskovitch "Divorce Consultant and Author": An easy to read book offering great advice, March 4, 2006

This book is easy to read, very insightful and offers the wisdom one needs to know when going through divorce. I would recommend this book to everyone thinking about or going through divorce. I recommend this book to all of my clients.

KT "reader" (Northern NJ): Helpful, February 11, 2006

I found this book helpful not just for someone considering divorce, but also as a relationship guide. Stacy has seen it all, and she can help you evaluate your control of a very tough situation. I felt fortunate to be able to use her advice, and it will ultimately save legal fees. The book convinced me to take control of the parts of my life that I had let slip and to feel good about those areas where I'd maintained control all along.
