Review Quotes:
[A] timely, a comprehensive treatise that should be on the desk of every in-house counsel and government affairs team. Not only an excellent reference point but also an analysis of the current state of the lobbying profession." Neftali (Nef) Garcia, Esq., VP, Government Affairs
McLane Company Inc., Temple, Texas
The experiences herein of dozens of government affairs managers... can help beginning and even veteran clients become more sophisticated consumers of lobbying services. I may not agree with everything Bob Guyer has written, yet as a long-time provider of lobbying services, I see Insiders Talk leading to a generation of clients able to get more out of themselves, their lobbyists, and advocacy investments. Ron Phillips, Gavel Resources Washington, D.C. former faculty Johns Hopkins
I highly recommend the book... as it is a very practical guide to lobbying as well as one with a very appropriate emphasis on the legality, morality, and ethics of the lobbying profession. Frank Cavico, J.D., LL.M., M.A., B.A., Professor (retired) of Administrative Law and Ethics, Nova Southeastern University
