Client Relationship Mastery can be offered as a 60 or 120 minute breakout session with CLE ethics credit.
An ideal attorney/client relationship runs smoothly from start to finish. The client is satisfied, refers friends and pays legal fees on time. The attorney enjoys professional, personal and hopefully financial rewards.

This program offers a practical and strategic approach to developing and maintaining effective and ethical relationships with law firm clients.
