"Attacking the Expert's Opinion" This seminar turns traditional approach to expert deposition
on its head. Techniques from this seminar will increase my settlement potential
by extended examination of why, what support, and by whom to establish bias
of opposition expert. Excellent instructor. |
| This seminar is based completely on practical, demonstrated
techniques. Mr. Musante is an animated, captivating speaker. He uses a variety
of visual and audio techniques to capture and keep audience's attention.
Highly logical and pragmatic. Marta Weiss, San Rafael |
| Excellent! Mr. Musante's stage presence is wonderful.
Practical and functional. I particularly appreciate the "Adverse Expert
Contends" chart. The "Opinion" attacks seem so logical that
I can't imagine why I didn't understand them on my own, or why they're so
difficult to put into practice now. Ken VanVleck, 25 expert depos, Thoits, Love, Hershberger & McLean, San Jose |
| The content is very strong. A good break-down of the
essential logical arguments needed in an expert deposition. Musante is wonderful.
More engaging than any other seminar...other than the "Adverse"
class, of course. Broad base of "Opinion" attacks that go into
topics I've never considered before. Matthew Johnson, San Ramon |
| Very practical. Goes beyond "textbook" standard
dogma. I hope and expect it to improve my depos considerably. Musante is
excellent. Anonymous, 20+ expert depos, San Ramon |
| Top notch! Musante combines extensive knowledge with
humor. Gives systematic method to approach expert depositions and trial
prep. Excellent practical content ... warrants a much longer seminar! Randall Wiens, 50+ expert depos, San Ramon |
| A rich smorgasbord of invaluable techniques and examples.
Musante is a latter day Diogenes on steroids, casting light in the dark
cave of obfuscation from which most experts sally forth. Apart from my own
one-day seminar, none is superior to this. Bradley Bostick, 100+ expert depos, San Ramon |
| Excellent practical content. Excellent instructor. Bill Schneider, 200 expert depos, San Ramon |
| Very good practical content. Much better than other one-day
seminars. More substantive information and practical approach with broad
application. Musante is excellent. Anonymous, 40 expert depos, San Ramon |
| Very practical. Great, entertaining and knowledgeable
instructor. Musante can make an argument over virtually anything--and be
effective. Tanya Leydiker, 8 expert depos, San Ramon |
| Great practical content! Superb instructor! Both Musante's
seminars were the best! "Opinion" attacks very helpful, especially
for someone preparing for her first expert depo. Anonymous, San Ramon |
|
Musante 100% Practical content 95% Musante is most compelling, thorough
and has an immediately useful approach. This will drastically improve
the quality of my adverse expert depositions. Before this I tried to learn
more about the subject than the "expert." Now I can wing it
with any expert -- let him tell me the weaknesses in his opinion. |
|
Excellent "Opinion" attacks. Will allow me an approach with
an eye to the depo's usage later and hopefully will make me feel more
comfortable in my lack of practical experience. Musante is very good. |
| The best! This is my third Musante seminar (spaced several
years apart) and I learn more everytime I attend. Musante is very effective;
very helpful practical content, strategies and helpful suggestions as to
specific questions. I learned a significant number of effective techniques
that I had not thought of before. Ken Wilson, 10-20 expert depos, San Ramon |
|
Excellent practical content; excellent instructor. Absolute best seminar!
Will improve my depos 100%. |
| Very valuable pracitcal content. Excellent teacher as
far as oral presentation and powerpoint presentation are concerned. By far
the best seminar on this subject that I have attended. Stuart Goldware, 10 expert depos, San Ramon |
| Great practical content. Musante is excellent. Appears
to be very valuable. Will improve my depos in many ways. Also will help
with my questioning and trial work. I'm waiting for Musante's book! Anonymous, San Ramon |
| I would highly recommend this seminar to other attorneys.
Instructor is very eloquent and entertaining...kept me awake! This seminar
is a lot more informative than other one-day seminars. I learned new "tricks"
that I can easily put into practice. Anonymous, San Jose |

will be useful in my practice. Cecelia Fusich, 20 expert depos, San Jose |
