"This program was excellent in every respect. Mr. Fahringer is a true genetleman and scholar who represents the sort of attorney from his generation that caused law and lawyers to be held in high esteem -- the direct opposite of how lawyers and our profession are now viewed. I also greatly respected the credit he gave to his co-counsel Erica. As a former law professor (including constitutional law), law clerk for one of the greatest justices of the Cal. Supreme Court, and appellate advocate, I found the presentation illuminating, instructive and consistent with my much more limited experience. I believe that all lawyers, esp. with those with substantially less experience than my 40-plus year, should watch this so that they can see what a true professional attorney is like. He is a gem as I am sure Erica is also." - Barbara (Los Angeles, CA)
