Testimonials
“I want to compliment you both on providing me with one of the most educational and enjoyable three days ever. Intellectually and emotionally I really learned a lot. You caused me to develop a new point of view relative to my professional work. Prior to the course I always looked “from the inside (my side) out” now I have added “looking from the outside (the jury, the opposing attorney, the court) in”. You two guys aren’t cheap but you’re damn good!”
“I wish to express my satisfaction to both Jim and Judge Chernoff for the exceptionally fine presentation this past Friday & Saturday, at FEWA here in Las Vegas. I’ve already changed my profile online and have put the sample report with Jim’s input on file for the next time I write an expert report. I have been providing expert testimony for nineteen years now. Wish I had the advantage of what I learned in two days from Jim & the Judge in all my depositions, trial testimony & reports over all those years. Can’t thank you enough”
“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 would like to sincerely thank you for all that you have done to help improve my professional presence in the courtroom, to be more confident while testifying, and to actually enjoy doing it.
“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.”
“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…”
You have helped me get my forensic practice off to a great start, have been a pleasure to deal with, and your guidance has helped me avoid several potentially major business mistakes as well as stay on task and in motion forward. Part consultant, part therapist, you’ve been there for me throughout, helping me think through several pivotal professional decisions.
“My (3) SEAK reference books have been essentials for the expert witness work I have done.”
I just wanted to thank you and Nadine for a very enlightening weekend. I learned a lot
“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.”
