Dear Readers Welcome to the first blog of the year 2010. Last year was an eventful one with lots of changes at Tan and Tan Lawyers.

You might have considered having a partner to share the expense , the load and the risk. Sometimes that may be...

Dear Readers The golf bug has hit me again. I had been away from the golf course for over 13 years after my 1st son was born.
