Continuing Legal Education Accreditations

CLE accreditation is gotten upon request of a seminar participant. Accreditation may or may not be current. Check with us to ensure that an accreditation is current. An * beside a state's name indicates that the state approved the two seminars as a single course. If you do not see your state listed, you may wish to contact your respective state's bar association.

Bob Guyer's course contributed substantially to my lifelong study of advocacy and was the best CLE accredited course that I have taken, bar none, in my 39 years as a government relations consultant.

While I am a lobbying veteran, the workshop and book provided me with a fresh perspective on advocacy. Mr. Guyer's clear structure and methodology for an effective lobbying campaign added to my own effectiveness with the legislature contributing to me being ranked one of the five best lobbyists in the state of Florida.
