An outstanding presentation! One which every attorney who holds him/herself out as a “counselor-at-law” needs to see! This is so important as to almost be required!

I just watched your outstanding presentation on advising clients during a business crisis. Your presentation was excellent both as a CLE in general and compared to the many other presentations I have attended on crisis management.
