Providing High Quality Continuing Legal Education Since 1999

A Breath of Fresh Air “Thank you so very much. After having spent a very frustrating day dealing with multiple tone deaf (to be kind) customer reps at two different large online retailers (Fortune 500, I’m sure), dealing with you and your fellow reps has been a breath of fresh air (a phrase I have never used, but very appropriate here). I will definitely recommend your services to attorney friends and hope you will pass this email along to any supervisors/higher-ups. It is amazing how other companies’ reps often do not even fully read/comprehend emails sent to them (due, I suspect, to complacency) and respond with inappropriate form emails that leave their customers more frustrated than before contact. Thank you for truly treating me as a valued customer. ”
