Tracy D

"Great material and presentation. Ms. Daly-Rooney would benefit from speaking more slowly and clearly. "

Joseph C

"I found the presenters to be very knowledgeable and the presentation to be quite informative. Unfortunately, we ran out of time and they had to rush through the rest of the presentation. Additionally, I would have liked more information related to Service Animals and ESAs as it relates to housing, Landlord's obligations, and tenant obligations."

Gerald P

"simplified concepts"

Richard P

"Very informative program"

Karen D

"This CLE presented very useful information and will be foundational as I assist a client with a new service dog"

Kathryn M

"Too much info for such a short time. Did not get into housing which was really important to me."

Frank W

"Comprehensive and thorough presentation of the materials."

Sandra E

"Consistent examples of people with various disabilities and their animals made it easy - almost like a formula - to figure out what laws applied, even for someone like me who has no experience in this area of law."

Joan B

"Great materials and great speakers but a bit repetitive from previous CLE on this topic in the not too distant past. It wasn't clear what the new material was."

Ernest C

"Too much information crammed into the short period. They should split this into two seminars. The pedagogy should take into account the audience. A little too much insiders talk. Not a good seminar for someone new to disability animals, etc. law, Left me with my head spinning"
