"Great! Adverse Depositions: Principles and Principal Techniques"
An excellent seminar. The thesis is important in changing the common
view of discovery depo as mere discovery. Confronts conventional
wisdom. Musante is lively and entertaining. Video clips and transcripts
were enlightening. This seminar ranks in the top 10%.
Keith Aten, 11-yr atty, 100s of adverse depos
Excellent seminar. High energy and engaging speaker while rapid-firing
volumes of valuable information.
Paula McCann, 10-yr atty
Practical content of this seminar rated very high. Musante rated
very high…engaging, interesting, challenging. This is probably
the best seminar I've attended.
Paul Perkins, 7-yr atty, 75 adverse depos
An informative and useful seminar. Very good speaker. I don't need
CLE credit for tomorrow's class, but Im coming back anyway. This
seminar is the best in years.
Dennis Johnson, 25-yr atty, 70 adverse depos
Seminar content is instinctive; teacher is engaging. The seminar
discussion crystallized techniques I have learned and developed
over the years but never reduced to writing.
Anonymous, 11-yr atty, 100s of adverse depos
A very practical seminar. Musante is captivating and interesting.
Seminar moved along quickly. Good aids. I did not want the class
to end.
Tracee Oakman, 17-yr atty, 100 adverse depos
I liked the teacher's speaking and teaching abilities. Good use
of humility to criticize…humble…many lawyers have ego
issues.
James Conway, 2-yr atty
The seminar reinforced some aspects of my deposition technique.
I find that the information will help me focus on the depositions
I take. There is a lot of information which was presented in an
entertaining manner…good substantive presentation. This seminar
was much more enlightening than others. Most seminars are practice-specific.
After 16 years in practice, I'm surprised by any info that can help
me be a better lawyer. This seminar will do that.
D. Lance Tillinghast, 16-yr atty, 50 adverse depos
A useful way to look at taking depositions. It will make me rethink
the way I approach depo preparation. Musante has lots of energy.
He moved along at a good pace and stuck to schedule. He knows his
subject well. Good use of visuals. This seminar will make me think
harder about the use of open vs. leading questions. I'll also focus
harder on building firewalls.
Bob Miller, 20-yr atty, 100 adverse depos
Excellent seminar…so happy that there was little in the way
of war stories. This seminar will help focus out interview questions
and get better results.
Christine Boraker, 4-yr atty, 20 adverse depos
Excellent practical content! Fast-paced, but very effective. Musante
is very entertaining and informative ... a good mix.

Jack Welch, 30-yr atty, scores of adverse depos |
Outstanding compared to others. Excellent advice and
entertaining material. I will definitely change my tactics.
Rick Johnson, 4-yr atty, 10 adverse depos |
This seminar couldn't be better ... and I am a trial
lawyer, adjunct advocacy professor and frequent CLE speaker. Musante
cuts to the quick; excellent ability to eliminate fluff without self-promotion.
Dale Jefferson, 16-yr atty, "too many bad depos,"
Martin, Disiere, Jefferson & Wisdom, Houston |
This seminar is in a different league. Top notch teacher
… excellent, useful seminar content. I can look back at depos/exams
where I succeeded versus not, and now recognize exactly why. These
rules are already helping me to prepare for an upcoming depo. I look
forward to the task now, rather than looking at it as sifting through
piles of documents.
David Herlihy, 10-yr atty, lots of depos |
Seminars of this type are rare. A very thorough and
practical seminar; an informative and entertaining teacher. This seminar
will provide a framework for me to prepare and analyze depo testimony.

It is never possible to get 10 pounds in one pound bag … an heroic
effort from Musante to cover as much as he did. I learned deposition
taking at the hands of masters, and in the school of hard knocks—the
trial courts and administrative tribunals of our state. This seminar
would improve the quality of my depositions quantifiably were I
not in the twilight of my litigation life. An excellent seminar
…an outstanding teacher.

insightful.

More comprehensive and therefore more valuable than
most. Excellent practical content; excellent instructor.
Kim Schneller, 6-yr atty, 20 depos |
Superior to most seminars I have attended. Excellent
practical content; excellent instructor.
Jack McCullough, 22-yr atty |
Entertaining and better than others. Excellent practical
content; excellent instructor.
Kent Penfield, 3-yr atty, 5 depos |
Excellent. A great compilation of material that I will
need to incorporate into my own stylistic approach.
Anonymous, 16-yr atty, 200+ depos |
Best I've attended so far. WHACK! will resonate the
rest of my career.
Jan Dembinski, 2-yr atty, 4 depos |
Very helpful. Musante is excellent!
Tim Collins, 16-yr atty |

Better information and more practical than others.
Karen Bargstrom, 6-yr atty, 10 depos |

Far better than any other. Excellent practical content: interesting
and practically useful. Musante is excellent. I've used some of
these techniques, never this consistently. Musante's points ring
true with logic and experience.

"The
25 Credibility Arguments for Deposition and Trial"
A well organized and well presented seminar. Musante is a skilled
presenter. "A+". He makes learning easy and enjoyable.
Jonathan Stevens, 25-yr atty, 20 adverse depos
A well organized seminar. Lots of use of "famous" criminal
trials. Excellent speaker…keeps on track.

use of visuals, written materials.
Jesse Corum IV, 26-yr atty
Excellent seminar. Good pace and engaging speaker.
Christine Boraker, 4-yr atty, 20 adverse depos
Excellent seminar. This seminar will improve the quality of my adverse
depos 100%.
Jan Dembinski, 5-yr atty, 8 adverse depos
Informative seminar for preparing technique. An engaging and entertaining
speaker.
Evan Lundeen
Musante has an excellent teaching ability…he's passionate about
the subject; very organized. Video clips were a critical component
of program. Graphics were excellent. As someone who prepares new
Powerpoint presentations for all my classes, I have some notion
on the time involved. I found myself listening to and enjoying the
presentation to a degree that I certainly had not expected.
M. Rushman
A helpful seminar. Great speaker…great sense of humor. This
seminar will make me more aware of the way the deponent uses language.
It also reinforces the necessity of thinking on one's feet.
