“I want to compliment you both on providing me with one of the most educational and enjoyable three days ever. Intellectually and emotionally I really learned a lot. You caused me to develop a new point of view relative to my professional work. Prior to the course I always looked “from the inside (my side) out” now I have added “looking from the outside (the jury, the opposing attorney, the court) in”. You two guys aren’t cheap but you’re damn good!”
I truly thank you for the services that you are providing; it has allowed me to more quickly and thoroughly understand the legal system within which I am now working. The school of hard knocks got a lot cheaper.
I am tremendously more confident in my expert work thanks to your input, books, seminars and materials. Retaining counsel often give compliments on my reports and discussions, and I tell them I learned it all at SEAK.
“You have landed at least 6 good cases for me this year! I plan to attend the seminar again in 2012.”
I bragged about you guys to an expert witness group last evening. I recommended that they all attend your seminars!
“I have attended a significant number of continuing education courses over the years and I am hard pressed to remember any that were as informative as “How to Start, Build and Run a Successful Expert Witness Practice.” As you suggested, I am strongly encouraging the physician(s), I am to be working with, to attend one of your seminars. I look forward to attending another one myself. Thank you for your assistance.”
“Thank you for all of your help in making my Forensic practice successful. I am very busy and there is no question that SEAK has made that possible.”
“I wanted to circle back with you. I finally went on the stand beginning April 1 and carried over to the second day on Friday April 3. With your help I felt very prepared and was able to articulate my opinion very well. The crossing attorney did not seem very strong to me and did not seem as though he really understood what he was asking me, which made it fairly easy. It was a good one to start out with for me but certainly not too challenging. My attorneys felt I did an excellent job up there and controlled the attorney and line of questioning extremely well. I appreciate your beating me up and helping me fine tune my opinion and articulation of such. I will be able to use your methods going forward to help when I have a difficult crossing attorney.” – One-on-One Training Client Prepped for Important Deposition
“I attended the SEAK Advanced Testifying Skills course in 2006. This was an extremely beneficial program. It provided clarity. Wording in my reports improved due to some suggestions made. Additionally, when I testify, at times a “light bulb” goes on in my head, alerting me to “go for it”–assert myself. For example, when I responded to a question–using wording I learned at the seminar–an opposing counsel actually looked startled, stepped back and eased up on cross-examining me. (He also asked for my business card following the trial.) Additionally, at your seminar, I met other experts who shared their experiences. This, also, was very rewarding. Thank you for offering such a worthwhile seminar. I am considering taking it again to further strengthen my knowledge and performance.”
“I must tell you the SEAK seminars on expert witness were excellent. The information obtained has already been put to good use in my office. Attorney Jim Mangraviti, Dr. Baker, and the Judge were excellent instructors. A real eye opener.”
