[blindlaw] Requesting information:

[William ODonnell]

Wow, you were given a discounted rate.  I paid about $1600 for 9 sessions and $1000 for a 9 session class.  They "made an exception" and gave me 6 additional sessions at no cost upon my request since I argued that I only had the use of a tuter with no supplamental materials.
