Testimonials
“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 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’).”
Thanks for putting on an impactful seminar. I learned a lot in many areas that I hope to apply in this field. I signed up for the directory as well and look forward to getting started and becoming a “go-to” expert. I was retained as an expert years ago by a big IP firm and looking back after your seminar realize the mistakes I made. No harm was done as the case settled quickly before much happened. Thanks again Steve and give my commendation to Nadine, she’s a terrific presenter.
“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.”
“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 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.
“You have landed at least 6 good cases for me this year! I plan to attend the seminar again in 2012.”
“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…”
“Your help was great; prep was very useful; After the depo, the retaining attorney talked to me for a while and said that it went real good and commented on my memory and organization; there were no errors or “clean up” issues after the depo. Thanks again; it is money well spent.”
“Thanks for a great job at the SEAK conference in Naples last week on “How to Start, Build, and Run a Successful Expert Witness Practice.” You both clearly know what you are doing, and communicated good ideas clearly.”
