Testimonials
“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.”
“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
I thoroughly enjoyed the training and found it extremely helpful. The faculty was very informative and kept me interested and entertained. Looking forward to more training in the future. Thank you for your efforts.
I am tremendously more confident in my expert work thanks to your input, books, seminars and materials. Retaining counsel often give compliments on my reports and discussions, and I tell them I learned it all at SEAK.
I truly thank you for the services that you are providing; it has allowed me to more quickly and thoroughly understand the legal system within which I am now working. The school of hard knocks got a lot cheaper.
“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 attended the SEAK Advanced Testifying Skills course in 2006. This was an extremely beneficial program. It provided clarity. Wording in my reports improved due to some suggestions made. Additionally, when I testify, at times a “light bulb” goes on in my head, alerting me to “go for it”–assert myself. For example, when I responded to a question–using wording I learned at the seminar–an opposing counsel actually looked startled, stepped back and eased up on cross-examining me. (He also asked for my business card following the trial.) Additionally, at your seminar, I met other experts who shared their experiences. This, also, was very rewarding. Thank you for offering such a worthwhile seminar. I am considering taking it again to further strengthen my knowledge and performance.”
This session, as every has been exemplary in shortening the learning curve and evening the playing field in a very challenging arena. Right away I did a thorough re-write of my agreement document and built in many of the items from 136-140. I can’t think of what does more for peace of mind than signaling quality case handling, from the very beginning.
“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’).”
“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.”
