“I completed Jackie’s course a few days before the NALA Skills test and don’t think I would have passed without her help! Her posting about her course was an absolute blessing for me. I passed on my first attempt. She was responsive to my writing submissions and provided answers and feedback to my questions.”

“I have written several letters since our class and all of the attorneys have been impressed. I can’t thank you enough for what you have taught me. It’s crazy to think a few weeks with you taught me more than some of my paralegal classes ever did. You’re truly amazing at what you do.”
