EXPO TESTIMONIALS

WHY DO YOU ATTEND THE EXPO?

“The Expo is a must for law firm IT personnel. The experts have done the research on best practices and latest products, and then IT personnel can implement the ones that complement their law firms.” Robyn J. Askew Lewis, Thomason, King, Krieg & Waldrop, P.C.	“KBA’s Law Practice Today Expo is an excellent event that I look forward to every year! I always learn something new from local and national practitioners and I have the opportunity to engage with many colleagues that I do not get to see on a regular basis.” Jarrod D. Blue Collaborative Composite Solutions Corp.
"I have been to the KBA's Law Practice Expo for the last 4 years. It is the best way to stay updated with Law and Technology, and you can get your Live CLE hours at a great price." Miles Brinson Law Office of Miles Brinson	"It is a relatively fun way to keep up with technology trends and updates and the luncheon speaker is always top notch." John Butler Butler, Vines and Babb, P.L.L.C.
“I am always amazed at the useful, practical, and timely information provided at the Expo. It’s also incredibly convenient to have flexible registration options that allow you to choose between single sessions, one day, or the entire Expo.” Jonathan D. Cooper Whitt, Cooper, Hedrick & Wojcik	"What you don’t know can hurt you. It is not just the responsibility of your office manager or IT person." Debra Fulton Frantz, McConnell & Seymour, PLLC
"In an earlier career, I regularly attended professional conferences, something I had missed in my legal career, but the KBA's Law Practice Today Expo feels like one of those conferences--replete with fresh ideas, great swag, and uplifting collegiality." Sally A. Goade Tennessee Court of Appeals	“I highly recommend the Law Practice Today Expo. Let me tell you why… While it’s a great way to get those CLE hours, it’s so much more than that. Experienced professionals present on a wide variety of programs that not only cover substantive areas of the law, but that also delve into the technical aspects of a law practice. I still use knowledge that I gained at the Expo last year in my practice daily. Plus, you can win some pretty cool prizes.” Erica Green Kramer Rayson LLP
“A must attend seminar for any lawyer.The information on technology provided teaches you how to utilize IT to your benefit and also protect you from others that try to do you harm.” Albert J. Harb Hodges, Doughty & Carson, PLLC	"First, it has exposed me to, and educated me about, a number of “cutting edge” issues in the law. The role of technology, including both it positives and pitfalls, ethical considerations in the modern world of the private practice of law and how to better serve our clients in the “new age” are just a few examples of those issues. Second, spending two days with friends and colleagues is, in and of itself, a great experience. Third, meeting speakers from around the area and beyond broadens my own horizons in a very meaningful way. Being exposed to different perspectives helps me see things more clearly and, hopefully, in turn, makes me a better counselor and attorney." Wayne R. Kramer Kramer Rayson
"I have attended the KBA’s Law Practice Today Expo several times including last year’s. Invariably, the speakers provide excellent tips that make our office more efficient and saves us money. Because of the Expo, we have discovered several ideas and products that we now use in our office. At the Expo, there are always numerous law related vendors which allows law firms to compare products and services. In addition, many offer special discounts at the Expo. The prize drawings are fun. I have won items ranging from a nice roller briefcase to a box of 144 Moon Pies." Farrell A. Levy McDonald, Levy & Taylor, PLLC	"The Law Practice Today Expo is the best resource available for keeping my practice up to day, from the cutting edge of legal technology to e-discovery to getting the most out of the apps and tech tools we all have in our office. It’s amazing to me what changes even from year to year. I highly recommend it.” Ronald E. Mills City of Knoxville Law Department

For me, it was an excellent return on investment." Christina A. Moradian Tennessee Valley Authority- Equal Opportunity Compliance	"The Law Practice Today Expo has provided valuable information with regard to my use of Excel spreadsheets as well as other software programs that I have been able to incorporate into my practice.

Robbie E. Pryor Jr. Pryor, Priest, Harber, Floyd & Coffey
"The cyber security portions of the lectures taught me to be aware and protect myself and clients from dangers that I had no idea even existed before I attended the expo. The Bill and Phil show was both entertaining and informative. As a sole practitioner, they demonstrate how to maximize you technology spending dollar." Davis S. Rexrode David S. Rexrode, Attorney at Law	"Attending the KBA Expo has afforded me opportunities to learn about cutting edge topics that affect my practice, hear how other firms are addressing firm management challenges and bone up on skills that can enhance representation of clients.

"The KBA Law Practice Today Expo is the perfect CLE event for any attorney who has ever wished they could hire a business coach to help them take their practice to the next level. These top-notch speakers meet with small groups to discuss and troubleshoot the issues we all grapple within our businesses. Each year I take away some insight regarding how to improve my process and boost profitability, and I enjoy the presentations because the subject matter is relevant to what I am doing in my practice. Every year I leave the Expo feeling energized and ready to try a new device or application. It’s a can’t miss event for me." Bailey M. Schiermeyer Elder Law of East Tennessee PLLC	"I’ve been attending this event almost every year since it started and I hope to continue each and every year. Each year I am SHOCKED at how much new information there is, new products, new software, new services, and always IMPROVED - (and by that I mean simpler so that I can understand it). I LOVE the interaction between members of the bar, staff, vendors and JUDGES. The format makes it easy to actually absorb the information. There is a short break between programs which allows your mind to reset before you hit the next topic. And you get to pick your curriculum. You are not trapped into an hour on tax litigation or maritime law. YOU CHOOSE. I send my staff every year, they love it. They can get educated for pennies which is great but it’s a morale booster for them. They get free stuff, get to interact with people they only have ever met by email or phone and put a face to the voice." Keith D. Stewart Market Street Law PLLC
“The Law Practice Today Expo is an annual spring highlight for me. It is one-stop shopping for CLE that keeps me informed on the changing technological landscape of the practice of law. Knoxville-area attorneys are lucky to have access to this many nationally-renowned speakers in one place at such a low price.” Hanson R. Tipton Watson, Roach, Batson, Rowell & Lauderback, P.L.C.	"The best seminar all year! So much to learn from presenters and vendors/ sponsors. Helps us technologically challenged! It should’ve mandatory. It’s that good!" Doug Trant Trant Law
"The Law Practice Today Expo features national speakers who taught me tips and tricks that I didn’t even know I needed. The CLEs combine valuable legal content with practical tips that allow me to represent clients better and more efficiently. Because the Expo has such a wide-range of content and includes the newest legal and technology updates, it is a must attend whether you’ve been practicing just a few years or fifty!" Samantha I. Warchol Ritchie, Dillard, Davies & Johnson, P.C.	"I value the range of programming offered during the Law Tech Today Expo, and I appreciate the mix of local and national presenters." John T. Winemiller Merchant & Gould
