Whenever I get a chance, I recommend SEAK and particularly recommend you and Mr. Mangraviti. In addition, you have really helped in the way you trained my office assistant at the assistants course in Chicago.
“I was deposed in February by a very cranky defense attorney. He was not happy with what I had to say and kept insisting I was changing what I had said previously (it was part 2 of a depo). I did not back down and the RC told me I had held up quite well to the badgering. I was deposed last week by two more defense attorneys and one of them said something you taught at the conference, and I smirked when he was saying it. When I spoke to RC this morning he said he felt I did really well with their nit picking and did not concede my opinion. Thank you once again for the valuable, worth every penny service you provide, I truly appreciate all I learned from you.”
I just attended your How to Start, Build and Run a Successful Expert Witness Practice in Mission Bay. It was one of the best and most valuable seminars that I have ever attended. After 45-years of CPA practice, that is a lot of seminars. I have been involved in expert witness cases for only two years (two trial testimonies and 1 arbitration settlement). You identified a lot of mistakes that I have been making so I am grateful to have learned this before I am run out of the business before it gets going. I signed up for your directory, purchased your Retention Agreement Program and, previously purchased the A-Z Guide. After I delve into building my expert witness business some more, I may seek your assistance in improving and marketing my business. Thank you, Nadine and Dr. Baker for a job well done.
Having been in the forensic world for 3 years and with 3 depo’s under my belt, it was a perfect time to attend your seminar. Really good presentation! Thanks much for all the good stuff you imparted. I have 2 trials slated for this spring/summer, and am feeling much better prepared having been to the seminar.
“I have been very busy with my TE work and I just wanted to let you know how things are going and once again say thank you for your help.”
“Yours is the most expensive CME I have ever taken. It is also the best value.”
“Hi Steven, though you probably do not know who I am, as there were many individuals at the conference, I would just like to personally thank you, as I thoroughly enjoyed it, and learned alot from my participation. I have also now incorporated both you and Mr. Mangraviti in my nightly prayers in which I earnestly ask that I never have to face either of you on cross examination, which is unlikely since I am from Canada! In any event, you were both excellent presenters! Please let me know when the next conference will be held, as I will certainly be there. Take care for now.”
“Looking at 2008, my forensic revenue (gross) was about 200k(up from 60 K when we met), clinical about 240K. I expect the latter to decrease in 2009 with the economy. The forensic is more unpredictable, but Jan. has been gangbusters. I expect to bill between 30 and 38 K, depending on whether one particular case goes to trial next week(or settles). I am very grateful that I discovered you along life’s course. Besides being remunerative, I love the work itself–the reviews, the reports, the depositions and trials and also believe that I am making a contribution to my field in the process.”—Practice Development Consulting Client
“I have not done any other advertising or marketing other than the [SEAK] directory. Just off the SEAK directory, I have been retained in Ohio, Idaho and West Virginia. Just got a call last week on a case in Kansas City, MO and waiting for attorney to send me synopsis of case – found my name in the directory. So, from my perspective, and in terms of the Gen X’ers – you guys Rock!”
“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.”
