"While the presentation was excellent, the convenience was outstanding. I downloaded the seminar to my ipod and listened to the whole course during a flight. I obtained 6 hours of ethics credits with no problem and without missing a beat! I highly recommend these seminars to attorneys in states that recognize Advantage."
— Michael Flanagan, Esq.
"I very much enjoyed listening to your course as, unlike other Ethics courses I have attended over my 41 years at the Kennedy Space Center, it focused on actual situations the speaker had dealt with and how the attorney's first responsibility is to his client and not to how much fee he can generate."
— Douglas G. Hendriksen, Esq.
Chief Counsel
Kennedy Space Center
