Testimonials

“The program was presented excellently. This was my first exposure to bankruptcy law. I was totally unaware how complicated this practice would be if I choose to pursue it. The speakers spoke clearly and used language that I, as a non-bankruptcy lawyer, could understand. Also, they had a broad knowledge of the subject matter.” – Don Kelley, Esq.

“Very satisfied. Good coverage of the basics.  Didn’t go too far into detail, which was appropriate. Speakers had excellent grasp of the rules.” – Christopher Murray, Esq.

“This was an excellent primer on issues arising in chapter 11 cases. The program reinforced my knowledge of basic concepts of chapter 11.” – Brett Amron, Esq.

“Very informative and helpful.” – Annette Cristina Escobar, Esq.

“Informative. Good overview.”
