"Jim - Supposedly this bottle of wine is perfect, at least according to the people who score these type of things.  I thought it was a good metaphor for the value you provide people, at least in my observation.  More than just an attorney but truly counsel, for which I am so appreciative. As attorneys go, I do think [you are] among the highest character that I have met."

--Card from John Casey, Nutritional Therapeutics

"I attended the National Business Institute’s CLE on “Business Contracts A to Z”  where you talked about drafting and negotiating business contracts. I learned a lot during that CLE, and I think you are a great presenter!  I recently referenced your checklist on negotiating strategies and it was definitely helpful."

“I have known Jim Alterbaum for roughly 20 years and to say he is good person, a trusted advisor and good friend would be an understatement. Jim is just one of those guys that you should consider yourself lucky to know.  Jim always takes the call, answers the email or finds a way to help.  He is an inspiration for those like me who have gotten to know him as well as I have.  Jim doesn't keep a check list of what he does for you, he never says you can owe him and he is selfless in how he approaches helping his friends.  Jim is always available to take a look at business plans and financials and give real world advice on how it can fit in a global environment.
