This is the ONLY place you want to do a CLE. ASK for Adam Gottfried he is THE BEST. On time, so responsive, guides you through whatever you need he makes my legal credit life effortless. In addition he has become a good friend we share jokes and it makes this process "human" not "transactional." Thank you Adam and NACLE!

At this registration period for the New York State Bar requirements I decided to learn about new and different areas of law and I spoke to Adam Gottfried. He put together an informative, interesting, and factually important program of study after listening to what I wanted to review for this registration period. I would recommend that any New York attorney contact him, or The National Academy of Continuing Legal Education to help them put together a continuing legal education program.

Asher Greenfeld at NACLE makes the process of completing my CLE very easy. He provides courses in all desired formats for my convenience, recommends courses that apply to my areas of practice and the content provided by the courses is almost always exceptional (on rare occasions, it is simply very good). The NACLE system is easy to access, and the record keeping provide by the site is excellent. I could not recommend them more highly.

I have been using Maxwell and NACLE for over 10 years. They are extremely diligent, responsive and on top of making certain I am up to date with my CLE's. Maxwell also makes certain that all the jurisdictions I am admitted in to practice are up to date, and there are no overlaps of CLE's. I highly recommend Maxwell and his team for your CLE requirements. The service takes stress off of me so I can focus more on practicing law.

NACLE helps make annual CLE requirements easy to achieve.
The personal assistance provided by their representatives (such as Adam G. whom worked closely with me) helped select and set up course work needed to meet each state's different CLE requirements and was a pleasure to work with as well.)
Met all my needs in a tight timeline.
Highly recommended.

I have worked with John Polack at NACLE to find CLE courses for over 10 years. I can always count on him to remind me that my CLE registration is coming up and to work with me to find courses that are interesting and relevant for my career. He is also polite and easy to work with. The courses at NACLE are varied and interesting and the presenters are knowledgeable. I always find new webinars of interest to explore and learn from.

I have been so happy with NACLE. It's been easy for me to just go into the platform & select from a wide variety of CLE courses. Customer service is outstanding. When I e-mail Max Krantz with a question, he calls me within five minutes. I just signed up for my second round of CLEs. Very pleased and I will continue to use NACLE.
