I enjoyed this presentation. As a new attorney it was a great practical way to learn about conflict and confidentiality.

Extremely helpful insights into how to manage client expectations and decide whether a case makes sense to take, as well as appropriate fees to charge prospective clients.

Practical tips and emphasis on knowing when attorney-client relationship begins, ends and scope of representation are always key. I felt the presenter would be approachable if I had further questions and appreciated he repeatedly said to reach out to him or another experienced attorney with questions.

This course was very helpful!

More about the exact beginning and ending of the client relationship; communication during the relationship.
