Client Comments

“I've just completed a quick read and I think it's terrific. Your enhancement on the takeaways, and the extensive use of quotes, is a great idea. …All in all this is more useful - and usefully presented - than even I had anticipated. Many thanks.”

Director of Client Development & Marketing
Washington, DC law firm 

“They [the managing partners] are just so pleased with you. They like your straightforward, crank it out style. They keep saying how ‘solid’ you are. I know their compliments are nothing new for you but I figure anyone who works as hard as you do likes to hear the client appreciates her. After today's phone call, they said they were inclined to keep going with more interviews than we initially said.”
