Testimonials
“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.”
“I was deposed in February by a very cranky defense attorney. He was not happy with what I had to say and kept insisting I was changing what I had said previously (it was part 2 of a depo). I did not back down and the RC told me I had held up quite well to the badgering. I was deposed last week by two more defense attorneys and one of them said something you taught at the conference, and I smirked when he was saying it. When I spoke to RC this morning he said he felt I did really well with their nit picking and did not concede my opinion. Thank you once again for the valuable, worth every penny service you provide, I truly appreciate all I learned from you.”
“Thank you for all of your help in making my Forensic practice successful. I am very busy and there is no question that SEAK has made that possible.”
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 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.
“Jim, I just finished trial testimony as an expert witness in Minneapolis. The attorneys and client were quite pleased and impressed and I realized how much of my performance today was guided and informed by the principles and ideals I was taught by SEAK. My forensics interest is growing (I may actually need to refuse some reviews soon due to overload) and I believe that you and your colleagues (but especially you) had a big part in that growth – both in my training as well as that of my wife Jill who acts as my assistant.”
“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.”
“I am working on a Federal case and wanted to thank you and all the folks @SEAK for the knowledge gained in your course. I am working w/ several Ass’t US attorneys (AUSAs) that I have worked with in the past and they have noticed the difference. I am scheduled to be deposed tomorrow at the AUSAs’ office – not mine, I told them! They held a mock “grilling” on Friday and the conclusion was, “We beat you severely about the ‘head and face’, much worse than the plaintiff’s attorney will and you handled it just fine!” As the questions came, I continually remembered the principles SEAK taught – hear the whole question, make sure you understand it, answer only that question, answer only what you’re an expert in, etc. We’ll see how I do tom’w during the real thing. So I thought it would only be right to thank your group for the lessons learned. (Yes, you may use this in a “promo’).”
“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.”
The James J. Mangraviti presentation was a great success. Everyone loved him, he is a superb speaker.
