TESTIMONIALS

  • I was thrilled with the trauma-informed and staff wellness training the experts at Alcalme created and presented. To a person, my team reported that the training was informative, practical and relevant to their work. As a former prosecutor, I was impressed by the sensitivity with which the presenters discussed complex questions, and the depth of their understanding of the mechanics of the legal system and its range of psychological implications for all people who interact with it. I would recommend this training to anyone who cares about the mental health of their workforce and of the people they serve.

  • I contacted Rena for guidance while preparing to launch my own practice – and this was the best decision I’ve made during this process. Rena has the experience to answer questions that inevitably arise when you’re trying to start a business (and she’ll even address a few more you didn’t think to ask). She is smart and caring, and she puts tremendous energy and focus into any issue you raise. She gave me invaluable advice on everything from logistics (basics like company formation, accounting, & insurance) to bigger picture issues (e.g., establishing an online presence, strategic pricing considerations). She also has this unique network of vetted colleagues to whom she can refer clients for subjects that require more expertise. I highly recommend Rena’s services and cannot say enough great things about her as a professional and as a human being.

  • Rena is the rare combination of brilliant attorney and business-savvy pragmatist. She was my first call as I considered making the leap to launch my own law practice, and she effortlessly answered my practical and strategic questions from her on-the-ground experience building a law firm. She is a visionary and genuinely understands how to build a law firm brand and a community.
