"Working with Jill was truly a pleasure. Before Jill met with our employees, we spoke with her about our needs, and she created a class based on those issues. The attorneys appreciated our investment in their education, and enjoyed learning new writing techniques. Their writing has become more succinct, organized, logical, and readable, since attending Jill’s course. Additionally, the attorneys have become more productive. They put more thought into the questions they ask before approaching new projects. It’s easy to see the transformation in my attorneys’ work as they continue using the tools with which Jill has equipped them."
