“In recognition of your outstanding assistance to the FBI in connection with its investigative efforts. Your cooperation was of immeasurable help to our representatives. I share their gratitude for your support, which assisted them in carrying out their responsibilities. You can take pride in the role you played in the success achieved, and my associates and I congratulate you on a job well done.” – Robert S. Mueller, III, Director, Federal Bureau of Investigation
“Jim, I just finished trial testimony as an expert witness in Minneapolis. The attorneys and client were quite pleased and impressed and I realized how much of my performance today was guided and informed by the principles and ideals I was taught by SEAK. My forensics interest is growing (I may actually need to refuse some reviews soon due to overload) and I believe that you and your colleagues (but especially you) had a big part in that growth – both in my training as well as that of my wife Jill who acts as my assistant.”
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 bragged about you guys to an expert witness group last evening. I recommended that they all attend your seminars!
“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.”
“Steve, without knowing you, knowing SEAK, and going to all the conferences that I have attended with your firm for expert witness training, and without your “one-on-one” training, this case would not have ended the way it eventually did. 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 came this year to sharpen the saw a bit since it had been about ten years since I attended your last Advanced Testifying class in San Diego at the FEWA conference that year. Mission accomplished! Thanks for a very fruitful and enjoyable two days of much needed training. I will do my best to apply it all!
“I had 8 cases generated from my SEAK Directory listing last year and one already this year. Thanks to your ‘fine’ reputation, I am ‘tap dancing’ with legal cases. Thank you Alex. Should you need a reference to other experts, let me know.”
“I enjoyed the conference very much. You and Steve run the consummate professional program.”
“Yours is the most expensive CME I have ever taken. It is also the best value.”
