Expert Witness Training and Resources

“I look forward to seeing you at your fall meeting. Thank you once more.”

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 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 am one of your exceedingly happy customers. I have most of your books, the expert agreement, have been to Cape Cod. Because of you and your group I have a thriving practice.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Steve, without knowing you, knowing SEAK, and going to all the conferences that I have attended with your firm for expert witness training, and without your “one-on-one” training, this case would not have ended the way it eventually did. Whenever I get a chance, I recommend SEAK and particularly recommend you and Mr. Mangraviti. In addition, you have really helped in the way you trained my office assistant at the assistants course in Chicago.”

“Just to let you know, we did very well at the CSC hearing and received siting approval for the substation. Your training was great introduction for us to understand the level preparation required for to successfully testify on behalf of the company. You are on our list for “expert witness” training for our future needs. Again thanks for your assistance.” – Corporate client we prepared for an administrative hearing

“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
