Testimonials
“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’).”
“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 have not done any other advertising or marketing other than the [SEAK] directory. Just off the SEAK directory, I have been retained in Ohio, Idaho and West Virginia. Just got a call last week on a case in Kansas City, MO and waiting for attorney to send me synopsis of case – found my name in the directory. So, from my perspective, and in terms of the Gen X’ers – you guys Rock!”
“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 enjoyed the training very much. I found it to be extremely informative. It’s funny how easily we can fall into traps. As I was listening to some of the volunteers, I could see some of the pitfalls being set up where prior to the class, I not only would have fallen into them, I probably would have helped to dig them! Thank you, and I look forward to taking another SEAK course in the future.
“Yours is the most expensive CME I have ever taken. It is also the best value.”
“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
The James J. Mangraviti presentation was a great success. Everyone loved him, he is a superb speaker.
I just attended your How to Start, Build and Run a Successful Expert Witness Practice in Mission Bay. It was one of the best and most valuable seminars that I have ever attended. After 45-years of CPA practice, that is a lot of seminars. I have been involved in expert witness cases for only two years (two trial testimonies and 1 arbitration settlement). You identified a lot of mistakes that I have been making so I am grateful to have learned this before I am run out of the business before it gets going. I signed up for your directory, purchased your Retention Agreement Program and, previously purchased the A-Z Guide. After I delve into building my expert witness business some more, I may seek your assistance in improving and marketing my business. Thank you, Nadine and Dr. Baker for a job well done.
