Real Testimonials From Real Fretzin Clients

Steve’s process is straightforward and really helped me refine my approach with clients.

Gary Noah Savine

Employment & Business Attorney

Steve Fretzin is an incredible guy. His class and overall training was instrumental to my success. He separates himself from the others by truly caring and investing in his clients. He is committed to the success of each and every person that he works with. Taking his class has given me a new perspective on marketing, sales and networking. It was a great investment for me.

James Wideikis

Litigation Principal

Steve has a proven system for helping lawyers succeed at developing high-value clients. Steve emphasizes building relationships and provides the tools to do that. I often felt “busy” at business development, but sometimes unproductive. Steve helped me focus on where and how to best spend my time and resources. I also better understand how and why buyers make decisions and can tailor my meetings to meet them where they are and help move them to a well informed choice of counsel. His six-month course was very valuable and was time and money well invested.

As an attorney, where would I have learned how to grow a sustainable business? Steve Fretzin is more than a teacher of business development, he acts as a doctor to diagnose and eliminate the issues we attorneys face every day in attempting to grow a law practice. Whether you are a highly seasoned attorney or just starting out, you will definitely benefit from his insights and teachings. I strongly recommend Steve!

John L. Ambrogi

Partner

Steve helped me develop a solid business development strategy and has provided invaluable advice in its execution. Because of this, my practice has experienced consistent growth since working with Steve, as opposed to the roller coaster ups and downs of business development before. I recommend Steve without hesitation to any attorney serious about growing a book of business in a smart, efficient manner.
