"Great! Adverse Depositions: Principles and Principal Techniques"
The best I have attended. Informing, entertaining, effective. Musante's
rules are far more effective. I think it will make the quality of
my depositions significantly better.

Great seminar ... substantially better than others. Musante is
fantastic.

Very practical information. This set of depo rules are superior
to mine; will vastly improve the quality of my depositions.
Steven C. R. Brown, 16-yr atty, 10 depos, Birmingham |
|
Excellent food for thought. Musante has captured many concepts
that years of trial and error teach and some new ones. Entertaining
and engaging seminar...informative without being tiresome.
John M. Johnson,22-yr atty, 400+ depos, Lightfoot,
Franklin & White

Excellent and innovative. Drastically new outlook on depos/trial
and when to go for the golden nugget of testimony. Very helpful!
Michael Gregory, 5-yr atty, 60 depos, Sadler - Sullivan |
A very informative seminar. Musante is very knowledgeable and very
energetic. This seminar's rules are much more in depth than the rules
I have employed.
Ronald Canty, 1 1/2-yr atty, 7 depos, Beasley, Allen,
Crow, et al. |
|
Will dramatically improve my depositions. Musante is very knowledgeable
on the subject and does a good job of conveying the various aspects.

Excellent practical content. Excellent instructor. Much better
than other full-day seminars; makes much more sense. Tremendously
helpful.

Very good; easily keeps your attention. Much more detailed on specifics
of cross-examination. In addition, the illustrations given make
the principles easily understood. If practiced correctly, this will
improve the quality of my depositions.

Law Office

Excellent seminar; more relevant than others.
Stewart Burns, 13-yr atty, 150+ depos, Burns Law

to those I've been using.

& Reese, Mobile
|
Excellent instructor; very good practical content. Has given me
a better deposition game plan.
Michael Hickman, 5-yr atty, 20 adverse depos, Taylor,
Martino & Hedge, Mobile |
Excellent seminar; superior to most others. Musante is an excellent
communicator and educator ... excellent examples. Very valuable, practical,
commonsense, but often overlooked advice. My depos will be immensely
better because I will not settle for interviewing witnesses, but instead
will realize the importance of locking the witness into his/her testimony.
Sheila D. Isbell, Gadsden |
|
Excellent practical content. Musante knows his stuff and explains
it well. I will have to rethink the rules I've previously employed.
Matt Lamere, 16-yr atty, 25+ adverse depos, Dothan
|
|
Excellent practical content; excellent instructor. Superior to
other full-day litigation seminars.

Extremely valuable. Musante was interesting and thought-provoking.
Rebecca Patty, 13-yr atty, 50 adverse depos, AL

Best seminar I've been to. Very useful. Held my attention and answered
questions I was considering. Will improve the quality of my depos
to a great extent.
Jonathan Raulston, 1-yr atty, 5 adverse depos, Engel,
Hairston & Johanson, Birmingham |
A very useful seminar, more so than most others. Put on quite professionally.
Will provide me a game plan to assist me in depo preparation.
Mike Skotnicki, 10-yr atty, 30 adverse depos, Haskell,
Slaughter, Young & Redicker, Birmingham |
Invaluable. One of the best. Excellent practical content; excellent
instructor.
William G. Stevens, 20-yr atty, Prattville |
Head and shoulders above any other seminar I've ever been to. Turns
what I knew, or what I thought I knew, on its head.
Robert J. Varley, 25-yr atty, 100s of adverse depos,
Varley & Messer, Montgomery |
Excellent. Better than others. Will have a substantial impact on
the way I will approach depositions in the future.

|
Best I've been to. A great combination of academics and practicality!
Good use of multimedia, good delivery, excellent use of real world
examples.

Excellent practical content; excellent instructor. Much better
than average. Should greatly improve the quality of my depositions.

Forman, Birmingham
|
More directly related to nuts & bolts of important part of practice.
Excellent practical content.
18-yr atty, Burr &
Forman, Birmingham |
Very practical/useful. Musante is excellent. Will improve my depositions
immensely.
Tom Borton, 2-yr atty, Burr
& Forman, Birmingham |
Great seminar. Will be a great asset in the future to my litigation
practice. After it was over, I wanted to take a deposition immediately.
Mitch Mudano, 2-yr atty, 20 depos, Burr
& Forman, Birmingham |
Excellent practical content. Much more practical to everyday practice
than others. I practiced (under instruction) the opposite of all the
rules Musante claimed were appropriate ... I will certainly be more
attentive to deponent's responses from now on.
Michael Clemmer, 5-yr atty, 150 depos, Burr
& Forman, Birmingham |
Good practical topic that is not studied enough. Musante is great,
very engaging.
5-yr atty, 30-40 depos, Burr
& Forman, Birmingham |
Excellent practical content; excellent instructor. Crystallizes
and reinforces where I've begun to evolve over the years, i.e., I've
come to realize that during discovery I must proactively impose my
argument of the case using the strongest, most descriptive and concise
language that I can obtain.
Paul Cavender, 19-yr atty, 500 depos, Burr
& Forman, Birmingham |
Excellent seminar. Has given me a better organizational approach
to adverse depositions. I will now focus more on trial in both taking
and preparing for depositions.
3-yr atty, 10 depos, Burr
& Forman, Birmingham |
Better than most. Reaffirms what I'm doing right, provides an alternative
approach to other areas, and some new and interesting ideas.
Joe Letzer, 28-yr atty, 100+ depos, Burr
& Forman, Birmingham |
|
Extremely helpful and informative. It's really a course on listening
as much as on questioning, which is different than most depo seminars.
Musante is excellent. I will be listening more closely from now
on, and going for the jugular more often.
Martin E. Burke, 5-yr atty, 50 depos,
Burr & Forman, Birmingham
|
An entertaining, informative and worthwhile seminar! Musante definitely
caused me to rethink what I've done in my limited deposition experience
and realize the many ways in which I can make my depositions more
effective. The skills learned in this seminar will certainly help
me take much more effective depositions.
Cathy Moore, 5-yr atty, 3 depos, Burr
& Forman, Birmingham |
Excellent practical content. Musante is very articulate. I will
certainly ask more leading questions from here on, and cut down on
the "what happened next?" questions.
Gary London, 24-yr atty, Burr &
Forman, Birmingham |
Excellent - I look forward to working on these techniques. Musante
is very energetic and passionate about the subject, which held my
interest. He emphasized the importance of listening to deponent's
answers and cutting out the crap.
2-yr atty, 1 depo, Burr & Forman, Birmingham |
Best seminar yet. Excellent instructor; very good practical content.
I now have an increased awareness to ask leading questions, rather
than asking open-ended questions.
Greg Burgess, 8-yr atty, 60 depos, Fees & Burgess |
Excellent practical content. Excellent instructor.
Marty Marler, 10-yr atty, 15 adverse depos |
A great practical advocate skills seminar. My awareness has been

is excellent, very committed.

practical content; excellent instructor.

in my answers.

Very insightful. Great instructor. Will make my depositions more
of a discipline.

This has been as interesting and thought-provoking as any CLE seminar
I have attended over the past 12 years. I thoroughly enjoyed Mr.
Musante; his enthusiasm is truly contagious. The seminar taught
specific ways to ask important questions and avoid common mistakes.
Angie Denton

Top notch! It opened my eyes to a whole new approach. Musante is
compelling, holds interest and attention. More thought-provoking than
other full-day litigation seminars.
Stan Davis, 4-yr atty, 5 adverse depos |
Excellent practical content; eye-opening. Musante is a gifted speaker,
engaging, fast-paced and entertaining. Much more practical applicability
than other seminars. Will be a radical change to my "battleship"
technique.

depos |

depositions without a doubt.

I will now place much more importance on proper preparation and examination.

Excellent presentation; better than most I have attended. I better
understand what I need to do and how to do it.

This seminar has changed my perception of depositions. It has given
me direction to "coach" outside counsel representing my
firm in matters in which I'm involved.
