NOTES: The training is designed for those of you who want an inexpensive day of learning. However, anyone who wants to stay the night in the Lansing-area, our office can help you with deciding, but we cannot promise that we can secure any discounts. Anyone who wants to come the night before and get together to talk informally about the law and life, hit me up if you wish.
