CLEonline.com, together with the Houston Bar Association, are pleased to present a special online CLE seminar on a topic of interest to all lawyers and their clients. In this seminar, the speaker will explore some lessons and questions that arise from the financial crisis that we have all suffered in the past couple of years. What can we learn from the 'Naughties' (2000-09)? How can we protect our clients and our families from investment losses? What are the risks inherent in investing and how can we minimize the worst of them? How can we recognize and avoid financial scams and bubbles for ourselves and our clients?

This seminar features an audio presentation from a live CLE seminar on this topic that was originally conducted by the Houston Bar Association (HBA) on March 25, 2010. This audio presentation features attorney Robert S. Toth of the Houston financial firm of Tri-Star Financial. This is a streaming audio presentation that you can access on demand at any time during the course of the seminar session. The audio presentation runs for approximately 1.5 hours. This seminar is entitled:
