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.
“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.”
I found this past weekend’s training to be extremely helpful. I had a deposition yesterday that was my best ever. I look forward to further training with SEAK.
“Your help was great; prep was very useful; After the depo, the retaining attorney talked to me for a while and said that it went real good and commented on my memory and organization; there were no errors or “clean up” issues after the depo. Thanks again; it is money well spent.”
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.
“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 got another call yesterday from your database. Listing with you guys is possibly the most successful thing that I have ever done for marketing. Keep up the good work.
“I hate to tell you this but I have had several calls after the directory issued. I guess your methods work. You are the only company that has provided any contacts as a result of a program like yours.”
“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
“I attended your recent advanced training in Florida. I testified yesterday in court, the first such testimony since the training. It was a huge success as I felt for the first time, completely comfortable with my opinion, my report and my testimony. I have been doing expert witness work for quite some time, but have only started testifying more in recent years. I have observed others, completed various trainings and as you know there is a steep learning curve in this area, so have learned from every experience—good and especially, bad. Your class though was the “tipping point” in terms of me finally understanding and being able to implement testifying skills, starting with a completely reasoned opinion and ending with educating the court, remaining calm and speaking clearly and directly. I especially learned from watching all the witnesses get grilled at your training—seeing what experts look like when they can’t give a straight answer or are defensive really was instructive and eye opening. There were many take aways from the class but I especially liked Jim’s quote from The Art of War—he who is strong everywhere, is strong nowhere. I was able to give where I needed to and stand firm, where I wouldn’t. The other side should send their expert to your training…”
