I have a really hard time paying attention in general because my life is complicated with a million distractions and a hurricane in my brain 24/7. I was expecting the video version of this class, but instead it was live and much more interesting. I love that new information ws presented and i actually felt like i learned something and it was worth the time. This instructor is very personable and engaging.

Chris Garcia is a fantastic instructor. I just completed his Article 9 class, and I was impressed by how insightful the class was. He didn't just lecture; he ensured we actually understood the concepts using simple language and examples where necessary. He turned the class into an engaging learning experience. I would definitely take another class with him.
