I rarely comment on these presentations but I just want to say that Ms. Altshiler was obviousl;y very well prepared. She didn't presume any prior knowledge of those watching and I learned a lot. I will look for other classes presented by her. One of the very best that I've signed up for on Lawline. Thank you.
