Testimonials
“Just wanted to express my deep gratitude to you and SEAK for teaching me about the expert witness business. It has really changed my life in so many ways!”
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.
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.
I took my first course with you in Boston many years ago and remember it as still one of the best conferences I’d ever attended. When I saw this course and that you were personally presenting I knew it would be worth coming from Florida. I was not disappointed. I’ve contacted my attorneys and told them to tell their colleagues I’m honing my craft and to send me cases!
“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 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.”
“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 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.”
“You and your company should be commended on presenting an educational and enjoyable program. It was first rate in every respect and certainly of great use as I go forward.”
“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.”
