One of the best. This seminar has turned on its head what I have previously
been taught about taking depos and has been extremely eye-openingly useful.
Outstanding instructor. "Stupid orthodoxy" alone was worth the
price of admission.
Robert O'Connell, 15-yr atty, "dozens" of
adverse depos, Nashville
Enormously practical. Great instructor. Every other deposition instruction
I've been to is b.s.
Bryan Foriest, Nashville
Great seminar. Far more interesting and useful than most legal seminars.
Musante does a great job.
Kendra Samson, 6-yr atty, 15 adverse depos, Nashville
Excellent practical content. Better than most litigation seminars. Will
improve the quality of my adverse depositions immeasurably.
Robert Weismueller, 32-yr atty, 100+ adverse depos,
Nashville
Very good practical content; very good instructor. Superior compared
to other full-day litigation seminars. Gives me a broader perspective.
Randall A. Ratliff, Jr., 3-yr atty, 3 adverse depos,
Lexington, KY
This seminar will provide me the tools that, given some proper application,
will dramatically improve my deposition-taking; and more importantly,
the level of service I give to my clients.
Bruce Balcom, 7-yr atty, Nashville
Easily the most thought-provoking seminar on litigation technique I've
ever attended. Excellent, thought-provoking material. Musante challenges
credibly, long-held and accepted notions of effective advocacy. He is
very effective.
Steven D. Parman, 17-yr atty, 300 adverse depos, Watkins,
McGugin, McNeilly & Rowan, Nashville
Extremely useful. Musante is very capable ... knows his material and
conveys it in an interesting way. This program is as good or better than
other full-day seminars presented by other out-of-state presenters brought
to Nashville by the NITA.
Ken Jones, 23-yr atty, 150+ adverse depos, The Jones
Law Firm, Nashville
Excellent practical content. Musante is interesting and informative;
kept my attention. Will make me much more effective as opposed to stumbling
around in the dark, hoping for the best.
Desiree Hill, 1.5-yr atty, 8 adverse depos, Levine,
Mattson, Orr & Geracioti, Nashville
Words mean something. Thank you [Musante] for reminding me. Everyone
can take something away ... I found nothing to disagree with.
Steve Anderson, Nashville
Effective, engaging. Subject and tools were very interesting and have
kept my attention. I will definitely have more confidence in my adverse
depos, and I feel like I at least have a few principal rules I can rely
on. I needed them!
Blair Beasley, 3-yr atty, 1 adverse depo, Nashville
Excellent practical content; very good instructor.
Brian Cummings, 5-yr atty, 35-45 adverse depos, Nashville
Very high value to practical content. Musante's teaching ability very
high; separates the wheat from the chaff.
Marshall Snyder, 15-yr atty, 20 adverse depos, Nashville
Very useful. Forces one to rethink approach to depositions and discovery.
Musante is a very effective teacher. He sometimes goes a bit fast, but
only because he has s lot of material.
Grant Glassford, 18-yr atty, 75+ adverse depos, Stokes,
Bartholomew, Evans & Petree, Nashville
Excellent instructor. Very interesting to learn of a systematic, logical
(Jesuit) approach to setting up the deposition. Better than other classes
I've had on the subject. The idea of presenting the impeachment information
rather than saving it is a great insight.
Christopher Booth, 3-yr atty, 5 adverse depos, Neal
& Harwell, Nashville
Very useful; a fresh take on often stale material. One of the better seminars
I've attended.
Brant Phillips, 6-yr atty, 10-20 adverse depos, Bass,
Berry & Sims, Nashville
Very informative and thought-provoking. Musante uses a very common sense
approach to deposition taking that is probably too often overlooked. Will
certainly make me take a closer look at my own deposition taking techniques.
Robyn Williams, 4-yr atty, 30 adverse depos, Nashville
More interesting, more informative, very much more practical than other
full-day litigation seminars. Excellent instructor.
Terry Ricks, 7-yr atty, "many" adverse depos,
Farrar & Bates, Nashville
Excellent practical content; something I can and will! put
to use immediately. Musante is excellent! Keeps the pace moving, great
examples, great practical information. Much more useful than any I've
attended. It all makes so much sense! I can't wait to use these techniques!
I expect it to improve the quality of my adverse depos dramatically!
Sally Ramsey, 7-yr atty, 10 adverse depos, US Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission, Nashville
Informative. Useful. Can't wait to take another deposition having now
been armed with these new skills. Musante is effective and entertaining.
Hammers home obvious points without making audience feel inexperienced.
More energizing than other full-day litigation seminars.
Mark Stamelos, 3-yr atty, 10-12 adverse depos, Nashville
Best CLE program I've attended. Very practical approach. I have learned
a number of pragmatic techniques and strategies. Musante is outstanding.
Keeps your attention focused.
Stanley P. Nuehring, 4 1/2-yr atty, Nashville
This is the best CLE to which I've been. Excellent practical content;
excellent instructor.
John Hennessey, 3-yr atty, Nashville
The best -- very engaging -- virtually no one left. Excellent practical
content. Top flight instructor.
D. Kirk Shaffer, 24-yr atty, 150 adverse depos, Nashville
Way above average. Excellent practical content; excellent instructor.
Alex Fardon, 14-yr atty, 125 adverse depos, Harwell,
Howard, Hyne, Gabbert & Manner, PC, Nashville
Very practically applicable for lawyers not just in the deposition itself,
but also in the pre-deposition phase. Musante is insightful, engaging,
honest and entertaining. Very good. Bound to greatly improve the quality
of my adverse depos.
Paul J. Campbell, II, 1-yr atty, 1 adverse depo, Nashville
Much better (than others) and entertaining as well as informative. Musante
is very poised in front of a room full of litigators. He is funny and
has great use of PowerPoint. It all makes very good sense to me. I was
stupidly following the four wrong rules ... thanks (Musante) for setting
me on the straight and narrow.
Margaret O. Darby, 3-yr atty, 5 adverse depos, Nashville
Helpful in focusing on certain principles that are not taught in law school
or by the practice of law. Instructor had a strong ability to keep your
attention.
April Nix, 2.5-yr atty, 3 adverse depos, Michael D.
Ponce & Assoc., Goodlettsville
Very helpful practical content. Musante is outstanding. Can't wait to
try this out.
Cindy Gardner, Nashville
Excellent. Very useful. Best instructor to date. Kept my attention throughout
entire seminar. After many years of taking adverse depos, I have to admit
based on seminar today, they were no doubt mediocre at best.
Warren M. Smith, 20-yr atty, 1,000+ adverse depos, Glasgow
& Veasey, Nashville
Best ever ... and very entertaining. First-rate instructor.
Mary Schaffner, 25+-yr atty, 350+ adverse depos, Howell
& Fisher, PLLC, Nashville
Good and useful! Musante ... what a personality! Irish-Italian works well
together!
Angela Bonovich, 10-yr atty, 50 adverse depos, Nashville
Excellent practical content. Musante is outstanding ... gifted teacher
and motivator.
George R. Fusner, 26-yr atty, 100s of adverse depos,
Nashville
Excellent practical content; excellent instructor. Better than other full-day
litigation seminars.
Robert Fellman, 5-yr atty, 3 adverse depos, Nashville
Excellent practical suggestions on pinning down the adverse deponent.
Engaging instructor; holds my interest; credible. Refreshingly interesting.
Patricia Snyder, 3-yr atty, Rubenfeld & Assoc.,
Nashville
Very helpful and very different than what I was taught by lawyers at large
corporate law firms. Much more useful and engaging than other litigation
seminars. Musante is wonderful.
Anonymous, 6-yr atty, 10 adverse depos, Nashville
One of the best. Excellent practical content; excellent instructor.
Anonymous, Nashville
Very practical. Met my high expectations. Musante is excellent. Forced
me to think about depos in a way I had not previously considered.
Anonymous, 2-yr atty, 5 adverse depos, Nashville
I believe Musante's ideas on adverse depositions are good and thought-provoking
and I will use them in future depositions. Kept my attention.
Anonymous, 12-yr atty, 100s of adverse depos, Nashville
Excellent. The power points along with his instruction were very informative
and interesting. Mr. Musante can hold my attention for 6.5 hours ... very
impressive.
Anonymous, Nashville
Much better than most. Very good practical content; very good instructor.
Anonymous, 7-yr atty, 40-50 adverse depos, Nashville
Very applicable. Will encourage me to prepare more diligently and critically.
Very strong presentation that challenges me to re-examine my approach
and preparation for deposition. Excellent instructor. Will significantly
improve the quality of my adverse depositions.
Anonymous, 25-yr atty, 40 adverse depos, Nashville
Better than all others. Very helpful. Excellent instructor.
Anonymous, 4.5-yr atty, 5-10 adverse depos, Nashville
Excellent practical content; Musante is very talented. Enjoyed the energy,
pace, focus and humor. Examples from real world were entertaining and
educational. This seminar is much better than others.
Anonymous, 20-yr atty, 200 adverse depos, Nashville
Very helpful practical content. Musante is excellent. Significantly more
coherent than other full-day litigation seminars.
Anonymous, 10-yr atty, Nashville
As good as any I've attended. Things I can use, makes me think about mistakes
I have made, and much of what Musante teaches rings true from witnesses
I have deposed. He has given much thought to the subject.
Anonymous, Nashville
Informative and useful. Musante is knowledgeable, practically experienced
in the subject matter, keeps things interesting and relevant with real
world examples.
