The Verdict.
“I clerked twice (the first time on the appeals court and the second on the Supreme Court),
and you managed to express in six hours nearly everything I learned in those two years.”
~ David W.
“The six courses were fantastic. My firm highly recommended your writing coaching and was excited when I told them that I found your website and videos. Your videos did not disappoint! They are extremely insightful, helpful, and I enjoyed them immensely.”
~ Josh M.
“I think I'm a good writer, but you gave me improvement techniques I'd never heard before. . . . Our briefs are now far more persuasive. And this has clearly made a difference in the outcome of several cases.”
~ Jim L.
“So there I was sitting in front of the fireplace this weekend, reading my seminar handbook. I can’t remember another handbook that ever merited that level of interest. And as my early December trial closes in on settlement, I regret the brief I won’t be writing. I just wish I could replay two galling losses where I know now what was wrong with my briefs. Thanks for a fine, challenging, productive day.”
~ Rebecca W.
“I wrote a brief using your 21 Minute method of getting everything down quickly, then tried your writing and editing techniques to make it clean and convincing. Both worked so well, I finished the brief early, and the in-house counsel approved it with not even one tiny correction, the first time that's happened to me in 15 years of practice.”
~ Susan W.
“I have a compliment that I’d like to be shared with you. This week I’m in trial with four other attorneys. During our Issue Conference, the trial judge came out of her chambers and shook my hand in front of all counsel and said that my Issue Conference Statement was the best piece of writing she had seen in her many years on the bench! Frankly, I was stunned, (as were the opposing counsel) as this has never happened before. Thank you very much and keep preaching the good word regarding better writing!”
~ Tom D.
“I thank you, my employer thanks you, my client thanks you, and the judge would likely thank you, too. I just finished my first brief after attending your seminar and the results are terrific. Instead of grappling with it for 20 hours, I completed it in half the time, including all revisions, then I edited it following the principles you discussed, and cut it by 1/3. I eliminated the confusion and still effectively advocated my client's case.”
~ Robert N.
"A colleague told me your class was the best CLE he had ever attended; I would agree. Using your techniques, I recently have won several critical motions."
~ Soojin K.
P.S. I attended one of your CLEs, decades ago, and still recall it being one of the best days of my career.
~ Victoria B.
