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 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.”
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 bragged about you guys to an expert witness group last evening. I recommended that they all attend your seminars!
“I wanted to tell you I can’t express how appreciative I am for the help you gave me to prepare for my first deposition. I would have been smeared without your prep and your books really have helped me put out quality professional products. I have had consistent success because my reports are factual, organized and I work very hard to stay away from the pitfalls I learned from you. This really fast tracked me and helped me avoid a lifetime of hard lesions. Not that I won’t have any, but it gave me a great headstart. Thank you so much!”
“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…”
“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 landed at least 6 good cases for me this year! I plan to attend the seminar again in 2012.”
“Retaining counsel said based primarily on my report, all 4 cases were settled… Retaining counsel is highly pleased. Your experience and critique of my report was pivotal to this outcome. Thanks again.”
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.
