I just wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for your generosity in sharing your CLE materials with me. Your insights and expertise have long been an inspiration, not just in Mississippi family law but on the national stage as well. Your leadership in value billing has truly shaped the way family law attorneys approach their practice, and I deeply respect the impact you've had on our profession. Beyond your professional accomplishments, I've always admired the incredible successes of your family. Watching your daughters thrive in their own careers and families over the years has been a joy. It must have been an especially proud moment to present a CLE alongside Carly what a remarkable testament to your influence both as a lawyer and as a father. It has been an honor to know you and call you a friend over the years. Thank you again for your kindness and generosity. I truly appreciate it...and wish continued success to you!Attorney Phillip T.
