"Great! Adverse Depositions: Principles and Principal Techniques"
Excellent seminar...wish it could be a two-day seminar. Excellent speaker. First rate.
Larry Hanks, 17-yr atty, 100
adverse depos, Miami
No comparison [to other CLEs]. This was clearly the best.
Practical content extremely useful. Musante excellent, animated and dedicated
to his task and students; he obviously enjoys his work.
Gary M. Pappas, 13-yr atty, 100+
adverse depos, Miami
This seminar is great. It opened my eyes to many rules I have broken
in past depositions. I am grateful to be seeing more clearly now. Now,
knowing the rules, I look forward to applying them in my next deposition.
Musante is very engaging and held my interest.
Stacey Koch, 6-yr atty, 15-20 adverse depos, Shook Hardy &
Bacon, Miami
Excellent! Stands conventional wisdom on its head. This is the first
seminar in 15 years where I resented the breaks. Head and shoulders above
the rest.
Nathaniel Kidder, 15-yr atty, 100+ adverse depos, Kidder &
Bennett, St. Petersburg
Excellent. Brings home many intuitive skills and provides invaluable
advice for the difficult deponent. Musante has a tremendous ability to
concisely present techniques and provide easy to remember phrases for
the techniques. This seminar conveys its message through historically
significant video clips (and not individual war stories), making it easier
to remember the techniques. It's too easy to ignore non-responsive answers.
The seminar has given tools to avoid giving a deponent the "get out
of depo" card.
Humberto Ocariz, 15-yr atty, 50+ adverse depos, Shook Hardy
& Bacon, Miami
"Take a Killer Adverse Deposition" is the best CLE seminar
I have ever attended in terms of practicality, knowledge gained, and enjoyment.
Expands on [my previously used set of deposition rules] and corrects some
of the "stupid orthodoxy".
Henry Wulf, 5-yr atty, 25+ adverse depos,
Miami
Excellent! Of huge practical value. This is the first seminar I've attended
where I have learned the whole day. I'm convinced of the logic!
Joelle Hervic, 12-yr atty, Shook Hardy & Bacon,
Miami
This was an awesome seminar, better than any other 1-day experience.
I am looking forward to putting the rules into use; logic tells me they
will work.
John Thresher, 1-yr atty, 4 adverse depos, Tampa
Great information to actually use at the time of deposition. Practical
way of remembering points that your will remember and use, compared to
other seminars.
Lorraine B. O'Neil, 12-yr atty, 200+ adverse depos, Shook Hardy
& Bacon, Miami
The best seminar I have ever attended. Musante is the bomb on deposition.
Excellent instructor. My set of rules would have been at best fuzzy and
would not be the product of disciplined, rigorous analysis.
Andres Rivero, 16-yr atty, dozens of adverse depos, Sullivan
Rivero & Chase, Miami
Excellent. Seminar is clearly geared to apply practically. Musante is
excellent with lots of energy.
Luis Espino, 7-yr atty, 50 adverse depos, Steele & Hanson,
Miami
Excellent! Leaves you thnking!
Deborah Chames, 21-yr atty, 500+adverse depos, Heller &
Chames, Miami
I rank this seminar at the top in terms of the value of other one-day
seminars. The practical content is very useful. The instructor's teaching
ability is excellent. He keeps the student entertained with a subject
matter that is not necessarily very interesting...he made the subject
matter come alive!
Nelson C. Bellido, 9-yr atty, 60 adverse depos, Shook Hardy
& Bacon, Miami
Outstanding. Most other CLE courses are "rote". This course
provides insight with the unorthodox approach to depo taking. Excellent
practical content. I like the use of syllogisms and rules of logic for
developing questions. Musante was excellent, straight to the point.
Gregg Metzger, 10-yr atty, 70+
adverse depos, Miami
Excellent content, very practical. Much better use of [my] time than
other CLEs.
Stacey F. Soloff, 15-yr atty,
75+ adverse depos, Miami
SUPERIOR, PRACTICAL, MEMORABLE. Excellent instructor.
Robert A. Milne, 20-yr atty,
100 adverse depos, Miami
Among the best. Valuable reexamination of precepts; useful articulation
of approaches/techniques hitherto applied intuitively. Excellent instructor.
Hendrik G. Milne, 20+-yr atty,
100s of adverse depos, Miami
Excellent. Keeps your attention, extremely relevant to trial tactics.
Musante was phenomenal, very informative. [This seminar's set of depo
rules] completely contrary to what I was taught...can't wait to employ
my new tools.
DM Schweiger, 2 1/2-yr atty,
25-30 adverse depos, Miami
Good set of rules to get the liar! Musante was excellent, informative.
Blaine Hibbard, 5-yr atty, 25
adverse depos, Miami
Unorthodox, different, fast paced, packed full of pointers. Real life
applications presented in a lively, fast paced presentation. I wish I
would have had the benefit of Mr. Musante's insights 15 years ago. [Musante]
is innovative, energetic, honest, straightforward and clear. A fantastic
seminar!
Richard E. Tejera, 19-yr atty,
500+ adverse depos, Miami
Blows away other seminars. [Practical content] excellent. [Musante] taught
me to highlight the implausible and plant the seeds of doubt in the minds
of jurors. [I am a] "stupid orthodoxy" practitioner who will
mend his ways.
Jose Antonio Llerens, 4-yr atty,
10 adverse depos, Miami
As valuable as any seminar I've taken. [Practical content] essential
to properly developing a case and moving it toward favorable conclusion.
I have used a few [deposition rules] before but never really understood
the methodology or impact until now. Wow!
Adrian C. Delancy, 4-yr atty,
15 adverse depos, Miami
The information provided is incredibly helpful. Much more valuable than
any other seminar I've attended. [Practical content] very incisive and,
of course, logical. [Musante] is very committed to the subject matter.
His passion for his work comes across loud and clear. [Seminar's set of
depo rules] far superior to those I've previously employed.
Joseph R. Fazio, III, 5-yr atty,
100+adverse depos, Miami
Much better [than other CLEs]; useful material. Excellent [practical
content]. [Seminar's set of depo rules] are unorthodox; I can't wait to
use [them].
15-yr atty, 100 adverse depos, Miami
Best [seminar] in terms of practical information. Excellent [practical
content]; Excellent [instructor]. [Seminar's set of depo rules] very different
in terms of impeachment of witnesses at deposition.
5-yr atty, 60 adverse depos, Miami
Better than most. Excellent practical content. Excellent instructor.
Very practical; great "fine tuning", new outstanding tips/ideas.
Brad Steven Fleet, 12-yr atty,
150 adverse depos, Miami
Great use of multimedia. The visuals were helpful in comprehending and
remembering lecture points. Videos entertaining and helpful. [Musante]
Excellent! Energetic, articulate, very practical, rich with examples for
use in daily practice. I wish I could take more of his classes.
13-yr atty, 25 adverse depos, Miami
Far better [than other CLEs]. Excellent practical content, great instructor.
I particularly enjoyed the use of videos and real life examples to illustrate
the points.
Paul Reid, 20-yr atty, 500 adverse depos,
Miami
Very high practical application. [Musante has] great ability to illustrate
rules in application.
Thomas J. Rebull, 2-yr atty,
3 adverse depos, Miami
By far the most informative and entertaining seminar I've attended. [Practical
content] excellent, very useful. [Instructor] great communicator, knowledgeable
and entertaining. I was vaguely aware of some of these [Seminar's set
of depo rules], but did not understand importance of following the rules.
Jose R. Riguera, 9-yr atty,
40-50 adverse depos, Miami
Perhaps the most practical seminar I've ever participated in. [Musante]
was exciting, enthusiastic about subject matter. [Previously employed]
the same rules, just didn't know how to apply them.
Omar J. Arcia, 4-yr atty, 50
adverse depos, Miami
The best. Extremely educational, excellent instructor.
Jorge Piedra, 3-yr atty, 20
adverse depos, Miami
It compares well with other outstanding CLE seminars. Provides many useful
tactics and practical advice in deposing witnesses. [Instructor] very
good. Principles in the written outline come to life with the examples
used.
30-yr atty, 150 adverse depos, Miami
Extremely practical and useful; compelling instructor. Gives structure
and logic to things that you have learned through trial and error.
15-yr atty, 500+ adverse depos, Miami
Above average in terms of practical value; better than most because it
is not anecdotal.
9-yr atty, 100 adverse depos, Miami
