“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.”
“Please also thank Jim for me, for all the great advice and teaching a few years ago. My expert consulting practice has grown quite a bit, and is now self sustaining at a very active level. I have incorporated much of what I have learned from SEAK and Jim into my work.”
“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!”
“Anyway, thanks to you and Jim. We as a society complain too often when things don’t work and are too quiet when they do so I wanted to let you know.”
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!
“Thanks again Jim. I have all the business I can handle now, both for defense and plaintiffs. I’ve now reviewed over 130 cases in the past ~ 6 years, in several dozen states. When I’ve been deposed or gone to trial, your advice from your books, and my notes from the live courses, have been invaluable. Many of the tips and attorney tricks and tactics have come up and I’ve felt much more confident responding in an artful way. In fact, often, the attorney tactics that I’ve faced were straight out of one your books.”
“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
“Thanks for all your great educational material and conferences. It has paid for my kids to go to college.”
“The best preparation for cross examination as a testifying expert witness I have found is SEAK’s DVD by Mangraviti “The Most Difficult Questions for Experts.” I review it prior to each court appearance. “
“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.”
