I really appreciate Adam! His professionalism, attention to detail and expertise in the area is amazingly helpful. He has helped me navigate course schedules, requirements and reporting for three different states, which for me was a little frustrating. If I was in NY, I would buy him lunch everyday for a month!

I have been working with Asher for quite a number of years now. He is always on top of the time frames required for me to complete my credits. Several (very helpful reminders) are made, and once i reach out, he is always extremely helpful and talks me through courses that are aimed at my practice area. I highly recommend him and his company!

I have been using NACLE for about 5 years now. I appreciate that they have a very broad list of available courses in many fields of practice. Many of the courses are 1 -1.5 hours which makes it easy to watch in my spare time. The quality is excellent. I also like the fact that I have a dedicated representative at the company, John Polak, who follows up with me on a regular basis.
One more good thing is that you can buy a year's worth of access to the CLE for a small charge above just buying the courses you need for you CLE cycle.

I have licenses in 4 states which each has its own CLE requirements and staggered reporting periods. NACLE (Asher) has kept me in compliance. It removes much of the stress, not to mention time, to have this reliable service.
