ABA MEMBER TESTIMONIALS











STEPHEN CURLEY - LAW OFFICES OF STEPHEN J. CURLEY LLC

My practice is enriched every day I remain a member...referrals, premium CLE and
benefits that lower my expenses...all come with membership.


SUSAN WARSHAW EBNER - STINSON LLP

I have a deep and abiding respect for the principles upon which the ABA stands
-- professional development, service, and justice -- and for its members and
staff. We are a family of professionals, dedicated to pursuing these principles.
As a lawyer, I cannot imagine not being a member of the ABA.


JO ANN ENGELHARDT - BESSEMER TRUST

There is always more to learn, and the ABA keeps me up to date, not only with
substantive knowledge but with how to thrive as a professional, parent, and
member of my community.


KEVIN GREENLEAF - DENTONS

The ABA gives me top-tier educational and networking opportunities. I am
up-to-date on all matters key to my practice. I have opportunities to meet with
government officials in charge of IP law to learn about what they are doing and
provide comments to advance the practice of law.


WILLIAM HORTON - JONES WALKER LLP

There is simply no better way to maintain my professional development while at
the same time making great friends, developing referral and support
relationships, and providing service to our profession.


JO ANN ENGELHARDT - BESSEMER TRUST

My Section memberships have enriched not only my substantive knowledge but have
taught me to be a better leader and how to work through tough problems
collaboratively.


MATTHEW THIEL - THIEL LAW OFFICE, PLLC

In terms of value, ABA Membership has always provided far more than the price of
the annual dues just considering the benefit of participation in the ABA
Retirement Plan. My only regret is not joining the ABA Retirement plan earlier
in my career.


MICHAEL MUTEK - AEROJET ROCKETDYNE

I joined over 40 years ago in order to keep up with the law in my area of
practice and stayed because members of the section and the committees that I
participate in have become a network of friends.
