“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!”
The James J. Mangraviti presentation was a great success. Everyone loved him, he is a superb speaker.
I enjoyed the training very much. I found it to be extremely informative. It’s funny how easily we can fall into traps. As I was listening to some of the volunteers, I could see some of the pitfalls being set up where prior to the class, I not only would have fallen into them, I probably would have helped to dig them! Thank you, and I look forward to taking another SEAK course in the future.
“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…”
You have helped me get my forensic practice off to a great start, have been a pleasure to deal with, and your guidance has helped me avoid several potentially major business mistakes as well as stay on task and in motion forward. Part consultant, part therapist, you’ve been there for me throughout, helping me think through several pivotal professional decisions.
I very much enjoyed the training and I am seriously considering attending another SEAK conference soon. It was exactly what I was hoping for in a conference and I am pleased at how much information I walked away with.
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 just wanted to take a moment to again thank you for a really great experience at the Expert Medical Witness course in Naples. In addition to the tremendous preparation you obviously put into it, your skill at being present and in the moment at all times was astonishing and reminded me of the unique talents of a Landmark Forum leader. I will enthusiastically recommend this course to my colleagues and look forward to pursuing a similar seminar with SEAK down the road.”
“I look forward to seeing you at your fall meeting. Thank you once more.”
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!
