Comments from Lawyers Who Have Attended Writing Techniques for Winning Cases
"I attended your Writing Techniques Seminar in Seattle last week. The very next day, one of my associates presented me with a brief for partial summary judgment on liability. It was very well written, and relatively short at some 6 or 7 pages. I decided to rewrite it using your techniques, and shortened it to a scary (for me) 1 page plus 4 lines. Two days later I received an email from opposing counsel asking that I send him a stipulated order granting my motion and he would sign it. Your techniques are truly amazing."

“Before I took your class, a colleague told me it was the best CLE he had ever attended. I would agree. Your techniques encourage clear thinking, which leads to clear writing and effective advocacy. Using your techniques I recently have won several critical motions.”

"I think I'm a good writer, but you gave me improvement techniques I'd never heard before. . . . Our briefs are now far more powerful, direct, and persuasive. And this has clearly made a difference in the outcome of several cases."
— Jim Lowe
Denver
"Out of dozens of motions I have filed since taking your seminar we have lost only a handful. And many of the motions we've won have been Petitions for Cert or Summary Judgments. Three times opposing counsel has read our brief and dropped the case."

"I wrote a brief using your '21 Minute' method of getting everything down quickly, then tried your writing and editing techniques to make it clean and convincing. Both worked so well, I finished the brief early, and the in-house counsel approved it with not even one tiny correction, the first time that's happened to me in 15 years of practice."

"I thank you, my employer thanks you, my client thanks you, and the judge would likely thank you, too. I just finished my first brief after attending your seminar and the results are terrific. Instead of grappling with it for 20 hours, I completed it in half the time, including all revisions, then I edited it following the principles you discussed, and cut it by 1/3. I eliminated the confusion and still effectively advocated my client's case."

"I have never attended a more useful and well done seminar, and I've been practicing for 42 years. The speaker was so good I wish it could have been 1 1/2 days. I also wish that every young lawyer coming to the Bar could take this course. They would benefit greatly from it."
— Paul Osterlund
Toledo, OR
"Yesterday I wrote my first motion using your method, and the partner had no changes to make."
— Frank Regan

"When I took this course, I was just looking for CLE credits, but it was terrific. Somebody asked me, 'Why did you take it when you're already a good writer?' But I learned so much. I use it every day, and I've been practicing for 25 years. I rated the seminar a '10' and the speaker a '10+.'"

"After attending your writing seminar, I was so excited that I went straight home and wrote the first draft of a challenging brief that I have been agonizing about for the past week. I showed the draft to my partner this morning, and he told me it looks perfect. Thanks to you, the brief is done, and I now have my weekend!"
