“The webinar was informative, however I thought it unnecessary for Mr. Gorby to mention his daughter graduating with a Ph.D. Mr. Consagra was difficult to follow with all of his "OK's", distracting mannerisms, personal stories and repeated accolades showered upon paralegals. Also, I am hearing disabled and wear hearing aids. As I have experienced with many remote meetings, the speaking is sometimes not loud enough for me, and/or muffled. My prime interest in booking this webinar was to learn about liability set-asides. I heard a lot about WC set-asides . . . not sure if liability set-asides were discussed. I was not paying attention 100% at that point but I'll look through the book provided and see if there's something there. Otherwise, I will contact one of the presenters for further information. Thank you.”

“The course was good. However, I was unable to open the web page to get my CLE certificate and no one ever picked up the phone when I called to inquire about the certificate issue. I finally hung up after 30+ minutes on the line.”

“The presenters were very knowledgeable but not practiced at lecturing particularly individually without a second person to help with the discussion; so the presentation was a little boring and therefore not as interesting as could be.”

“Content was great. Two of the speakers were really bad. Kathryn Ziegler said "um" almost every 3-4 words and it is really annoying. Joan Thomas seemed to lose her train of thought on multiple occasions. They were both very hard to watch for more than 5 minutes.”

“The presenter who did most of the topics spent most of the time telling war stories, with little law etc. Other presenters were very good”

“Not sure that I saw anywhere that this CLE was good for only 1.5 hours of Ethics credits, rather than the full 3.0 hours. Very unhappy about that.”

“I was stunned that a professional website would allow an attorney of all people to speak publicly in a room filled with his laundry and clothes. It was so tacky. That aside, the content was fine although I believe audience is looking for even more details in the process. Showing examples of forms for one state to state situation would have been a good idea for $100. He had some good stories from his own experience and that is always worth listening to.”

“Overall a good course. In the future I would prefer if all presenters had slides as that is what will be used by attendees once the course is over.”

“It was ok but I was hoping for a bit more nuts and bolts of the litigation process. I’ve been a planner for decades. The retort and causes of action are a routine part of a planning practice, but the actual litigation elements of contested matters are foreign to me. I strive to keep my clients out of conflict and out of court, but I do need to know more about what happens should the planning be challenged. This did not satisfy this goal.”

“The Trust and Estate From Start to Finish CLE I took was valuable, however, the second speaker ruined it for me. I took the CLE because I know nothing about trusts and estates... this CLE was marketed as being a good course to take if you know nothing. The first speaker spelled everything out, which was fantastic, however, the second speaker assumed too much prior knowledge and didn't elaborate on the tax implications part of the course, which is arguably the most important part. He also didn't follow his outline, so I was stuck trying to understand what he was saying without a guide. I usually love NBI but this course wasn't great. I'm happy to have the outline, but now I need to find a few hours to independently read it to catch up on the material that should have been taught.”

“The content and speakers for the seminar were fine. However, having to repeatedly hit a checkmark every few minutes to prove I was LISTENING to an online program is ridiculous.”

Thanks for the review, Rebecca! We’re glad you enjoyed the presentation. We’re sorry to hear that you were bothered by the credit verification checkpoints, but we promise we have a good reason for them. We are required by certain accrediting agencies to provide proof of attendance throughout the program in order to award credit.

“I have found many of the CLEs too generic to be of benefit - designed more for the lawyer who is looking to complete CLE requirements than to share substantive knowledge. My recent webinar experience has been that there were serious audio quality issues. The faculty who presented my most recent webinar was also terrible. The quality of his presentation was low.”

“The presenters no doubt know their stuff, but what leaves me disappointed is that many courses described as “all the things you need to know about x” or “fundamentals of x” frequently include meandering presentations that focus on the advanced experiences of the presenters with little of the fundamentals one would expect, or include presentations that focus merely on the laws of one state (typically, not mine). Accordingly, I have found little value in having taken such courses via NBI.”
