    ABA Member Testimonials

    Shayda Le - Partner, Barran Liebman LLP

    The opportunities to meet other members in a setting where we can not only connect, but also collaborate, work together on mutual interests, and contribute to the profession through service.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
