What our students and partners are saying about NATmatica™
Debora’s presentation on billing strategies was exceptional. Her emphasis on ethical practices in timekeeping and billing ensured that attendees left with strategies aligned with professional standards. The techniques she shared were not only effective but also immediately actionable, empowering attorneys to capture billable time accurately and efficiently.
Her materials are an invaluable resource for any legal professional.
- Daniel Torrens, Partner
As a first-generation attorney, I had to navigate a learning curve at every stage of my journey. In school, I was fortunate to have access to a wealth of mentors who were eager to guide me. But when I entered law practice, the demands of the profession often left little time for structured guidance. That’s where Debora made all the difference. Her mentorship equipped me with the skills, habits, and independence to tackle significant responsibilities as a junior associate.
Debora’s training fills a critical gap for new attorneys stepping into this challenging profession.
- Chrisanne Gultz, Attorney
As a second-year law student, I truly did not understand the importance of accurate, detailed time entries. Debora's Time Sheet Master presentation not only clarified the why, but also demonstrated the how by providing ample examples to
model. Law students and young associates should really take advantage of this resource —
Skills like these will set them apart from their peers.
