Advising Your Clients on Aging: How to Plan Ahead Part I

Great information!

very good presentation

The speaker provided a lot of good information and practical tips.

The best speaker hands down.

excellent information and examples

not an easy topic but presented very succinctly.

This has to be one of the top LawLine lectures that I have viewed. Ms. Finkel clearly has a tremendous working knowledge of the subject area. Furhter, her zest for truly meeting her clients needs is also apparent. I wish she was what most lay people thought of when they think of our profession. If I had friends or family in NY...I would certainly be referring them to her for estate plans.

Great course!

Invaluable! Lots of great advice for serving clients and even ourselves.

Great informative lecture.

thanks, H

Very timely topic and the coverage was from a seemingly caring practitioner. Outstanding.

She did a wonderful job thank you

Fine job. Thank you very much.
