Client Success Stories from

Training Instills "New Culture" for Corporate Law Department
"Our challenge was to develop guidelines that would address issues of concern to our management while not destroying relationships that our General Counsel had cultivated over the years. Once the guidelines were developed, Ed trained the department's Deputy Counsel in the art of budgeting and the sensitive task of implementing the approved guidelines. His command of the podium and his connection and interaction with the audience were outstanding. His skills enabled us to successfully implement a new culture into the organization without damaging our relationships with outside counsel. I highly commend his expertise and professionalism."
Linda Santos, Law Department Administrator

"Sage Advice" in Coaching Leads Lawyer to More Profits
"Ed educated me on how to implement a plan for the management of my law offices, which I have set up in Santa Monica. With his help, I was able to conceive and put into effect a business plan which promises not only to simplify my business, but to make it more profitable as well. He readily pinpointed my needs and offered sage advice on what I could do to rectify the problems that I have been facing. For this, I am forever grateful and will highly recommend him to anyone who asks."

A Business Plan Made All the Difference
"I requested that (my partners) allow me to take on the management of the firm and suggested the creation of a business plan.... (Our practice) is a successful practice, but in dire need of a direction -- and a business plan. They agreed to give me a shot and entertain a rough outline of my ideas. I was shocked when they agreed, but then horrified at the task before me. However, sitting on my shelf is "The Business of Law" that I purchased from you a few years ago. I began to read it and a whole new world has opened up for me. I just wanted to express my gratitude to you for writing the book... I am excited about the opportunity I have and just wanted to let you know that I appreciate all you do for the field."
CD, Pleasanton, CA
