I attended a training class on Saturday in Fresno. It was a very good class and your instructor was excellent!!! He was knowledgeable, personable, and very capable. He made an otherwise boring day into a fun learning experience. Thank you very much!

I took your class in March of 2012 with Bruce. As an attorney I have to complete legal education and have done so over the last 30 years. His teaching was SUPERB. He was very knowledgeable; he knew his topic;]

Jim

Thank you so much for the seminar yesterday in San Diego. Richard is a great asset to your company and his enthusiasm and knowledge really helped me to "get it." Plus, he made it FUN to learn. The materials were easy to understand and the way your instructor taught - I got it.
