NCLC staff are encouraged and energized by the kind words of our colleagues. Although we may blush or say “aw, shucks” at some of their words, we’re pleased and proud to hear them - we appreciate the support. A few of our favorites:
“Thanks to your great information and efforts I have saved four families from shutoff.” – from a Massachusetts woman who attended one of our Project Stay Connected trainings.
*
“Your new publication is awesome!...I use at least one of your resources daily, whether it’s Surviving Debt, your website, or the utility materials and I can’t imagine how I’d do my job without those resources.” TL from MA on one of our utility guidebooks.
*
“NCLC holds up a part of the sky when it comes to low-income consumer rights…They are far and away the leading legal education and advocacy organization in this field, and the Conference is a truly unique melting pot where AG attorneys, legal services attorneys and private counsel, often formerly from public or pro bono sector, mix, mingle and generate new concepts and programs for consumer protection.” – SM from MN on our annual conference.
*
“This case and Cason have performed an extraordinary service to the Africa-American and Hispanic communities and really to all car purchases…They [NCLC and its co-counsel] have pursued a really brilliant litigation strategy. Your filing really illuminated it for me in a way that had not been really all that clear to me.” – from Judge Aleta Trauger at a hearing on the settlement in the Coleman v GMAC loan discrimination case.
*
…”What a wonderful meeting you conducted. It is the best CLE I have ever attended. I know I was like a kid in a candy store with my questions, but there was so much can use.” – from RL who attended one of our Fair Debt trainings.
*
“…NCLC’s participation and brief were instrumental …One of the more incredible moments in the case was when you discovered that the key economic treatises cited by DOE to prove this point didn’t actually exist!” - from KK in NY.
*
“Big thanks…for getting this entire ball rolling with your investigative report on Credit Counseling. Under the theory of “but for” causation, you [NCLC and CFA who co-authored the report] probably deserve credit for everything good that is happening now with regard to this industry.” - from TH in MO.
*
“I wanted to let you know how helpful I found your Consumer Law and Practice. It is a very user friendly book and is quite informative. I have been using the book for nearly 15 years.” From KR in MO.

In a note that accompanied a building campaign donation MM wrote: “I think of it as the best investment that I could possibly make toward a better United States of America.”
*
Speaking of our NLADA/NCLC Brooks Consumer Law Fellowships, Ken MacIver wrote: “The fellowships have been a godsend for the development of legal services consumer practice and…partly responsible for the creation of a new statewide consumer task force in Massachusetts.”
*
“You’ve done your bit to save the world with your work on New York v. Bodman. Thank you thank you! My great great great great grandchildren will thank you too.” BR wrote to one of our energy advocates
*
“Very, very, very good conference. Everyone was terrific. Can’t wait to come again!!!!” Damian Nassiri described our 2007 Washington conference.

Randall Smith emailed us: “You folks are the greatest.”

“As I reflect on the past years that I have been associated with you and your colleagues, I have thought of how fortunate I was to…attend the annual conference in Colorado. Each year, I truly appreciate the wonderful work that NCLC has accomplished and the time that your colleagues have spent helping consumers throughout the country…” Tom Tarter

After an NCLC training KH wrote: “You’ll never know how much this training has helped me help my clients.”
