The James J. Mangraviti presentation was a great success. Everyone loved him, he is a superb speaker.
“I was just an expert witness at the Conrad Murray trial last week. You can check out my videos on youtube if you are extremely bored. According to commentary I did pretty well. This was my first time in court! I have to thank you for your book “How to become a Dangerous Expert Witness” as I used it like the bible in my preparation. I just wanted to thank you for writing that book.”
“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 found the training excellent. I do training, so I know the standard! I am sure that if I follow all the practices and tips covered over the 2 days, my practice will flourish.
“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 two SEAK conferences in the past year. Since I attended my first SEAK conference, my forensic expert witness business has tripled because of what I learned. I find the SEAK conference(s) to be my best source information and the most important conference that I attend to actually help me improve my product and be able to promote my business.”
I would like to sincerely thank you for all that you have done to help improve my professional presence in the courtroom, to be more confident while testifying, and to actually enjoy doing it.
“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.”
“Your’s was one of the best courses in which I have ever participated and that covers a lot of territory in my 40 years of practice! I can’t wait to put the ideas and strategies into place. I will be in touch! Many thanks.”
“Just to let you know, we did very well at the CSC hearing and received siting approval for the substation. Your training was great introduction for us to understand the level preparation required for to successfully testify on behalf of the company. You are on our list for “expert witness” training for our future needs. Again thanks for your assistance.” – Corporate client we prepared for an administrative hearing
