Testimonials
I recently had a depo in Florida and it went so well that the lawyer thought I had been doing them for years. I told him no, just good training from SEAK.
“You have landed at least 6 good cases for me this year! I plan to attend the seminar again in 2012.”
“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…”
“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!”
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 wanted to circle back with you. I finally went on the stand beginning April 1 and carried over to the second day on Friday April 3. With your help I felt very prepared and was able to articulate my opinion very well. The crossing attorney did not seem very strong to me and did not seem as though he really understood what he was asking me, which made it fairly easy. It was a good one to start out with for me but certainly not too challenging. My attorneys felt I did an excellent job up there and controlled the attorney and line of questioning extremely well. I appreciate your beating me up and helping me fine tune my opinion and articulation of such. I will be able to use your methods going forward to help when I have a difficult crossing attorney.” – One-on-One Training Client Prepped for Important Deposition
I found the training excellent. I do training, so I know the standard! I am sure that if I follow all the practices and tips covered over the 2 days, my practice will flourish.
“Hi Steven, though you probably do not know who I am, as there were many individuals at the conference, I would just like to personally thank you, as I thoroughly enjoyed it, and learned alot from my participation. I have also now incorporated both you and Mr. Mangraviti in my nightly prayers in which I earnestly ask that I never have to face either of you on cross examination, which is unlikely since I am from Canada! In any event, you were both excellent presenters! Please let me know when the next conference will be held, as I will certainly be there. Take care for now.”
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.
