As a Contractor, I know that to do a great job you need to possess the proper tools. SEAK provides the Expert Witness with the tools needed to perform with confidence and poise. I would strongly recommend SEAK training courses to any Expert Witness interested in being the very best in their field.
“I want to compliment you both on providing me with one of the most educational and enjoyable three days ever. Intellectually and emotionally I really learned a lot. You caused me to develop a new point of view relative to my professional work. Prior to the course I always looked “from the inside (my side) out” now I have added “looking from the outside (the jury, the opposing attorney, the court) in”. You two guys aren’t cheap but you’re damn good!”
“If a 3-pointer in basketball goes “swish,” what sound does trial testimony make when opposing counsel sputters and gets sarcastic? [Case] trial testimony went very strongly. Opposing made no headway, frustrated. After the cross-exam, neither counsel had further questions. A juror submitted a paper with questions to the judge. Both counsel approach and whisper with the judge for 10-minutes, I’m still on the stand. Then the judge dismisses counsel, turns to me and asks 3 open-ended questions that I respond to with detailed teaching explanations. Opposing kept objecting, judge said he wanted the jurors to hear the answers. Thank you both for sharing your expertise to make this type of day possible.”
“I must tell you the SEAK seminars on expert witness were excellent. The information obtained has already been put to good use in my office. Attorney Jim Mangraviti, Dr. Baker, and the Judge were excellent instructors. A real eye opener.”
“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.”
“Thank you for your time today. I found it very helpful. I actually have been going back through my file again and found the answers to many of the issues you raised. I have attached my revised CV based on your excellent review. I have had many people look at the version I gave you, including looking it over several times myself, I am amazed at the things you found and am very grateful for your keen eye. You are clearly very good at what you do.”—One-on-One Training Client Prepped for Important Deposition
“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.”
I took my first course with you in Boston many years ago and remember it as still one of the best conferences I’d ever attended. When I saw this course and that you were personally presenting I knew it would be worth coming from Florida. I was not disappointed. I’ve contacted my attorneys and told them to tell their colleagues I’m honing my craft and to send me cases!
“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.”
“Thanks for a great job at the SEAK conference in Naples last week on “How to Start, Build, and Run a Successful Expert Witness Practice.” You both clearly know what you are doing, and communicated good ideas clearly.”
