Charles F

"Really good information. Especially on liens. A good panel. I liked the mix of plaintiff's attorneys (Darren and Amy), the defense attorney (Dennis) and the judge. "

David H

"Very practical, useful information "

Timothy M

"The presentation was more focused on successful tactics for plaintiff attorneys."

Cynthia B

"Too much "war stories" and not enough substantive content. The second hour was slow/boring. It is extremely rare to go to trial these days much less get an excess judgment so that was not a worthwhile topic. Ms. Hernandez should have backed off and let her panel members present their topics rather than "hijacking" the presentations herself. Too much "sitting and talking" by panel which is boring for viewers. Needed more audio-visual aids. Program lacked pacing. Felt like second hour was waste."
