"Attacking
the Expert's Opinion"
Excellent practical content. A lot of good, hard and specific examples
of how to question an expert. Much more practical than most, not just
theory, but real examples for the practitioner. Not boring or redundant
after yesterday's "Adverse" seminar; a good synopsis of
previous day which just enhanced it. The "expert" chart
is a little intimidating at first, but so well broken down.

Dick Vitale's enthusiasm and Brother William's (Eco's "The
Name of the Rose") logic and epistemology = Musante on Experts.
Outstanding instructor. There are 3 persons in 1 god: Younger, McElhaney
and Musante. All others are mere mortals.

Excellent. Well-prepared. Logical. Relevant.

A depo class for the lawyer who enjoys using his brain and treats
law as a career, not a job! Excellent instructor. Rather than just
giving you a script, it teaches you to listen and apply rules.

Best seminar I've ever attended. Musante is A+.
Bob Foster, 5-7 expert depos, Newport Beach |
Excellent practical content. Outstanding instructor. Loaded with
hands-on practical information. The lecture, coupled with outline
is more effective than seminars presented with voluminous reading
material. The use of the power point presentation is great to reinforce
the lecture. One is never too old to learn new techniques.
John P. O'Brien, 10 expert depos, Newport Beach |
Excellent! Musante is excellent and entertaining. More info and
good advice than any seminar I've ever attended.
Judy McDonough, Newport Beach |
Great practical content! Great instructor! I can't wait to test
the "logic" on my next expert.
Mark Shoenauer, 5-10 expert depos, Los Angeles |
Very helpful. Takes the mystique out of experts and makes them seem
fallible too. Musante's "bells and whistles" help keep attention,
which is 1/2 the battle in helping people learn the good info.
Meredith Todd, 20 expert depos, Los Angeles |
Very interesting content. Musante is excellent. Very good analysis
of "logic" and "Opinion" attacks.
Joan E. Lewis-Heard, 100 expert depos, Nagler &
Assoc., Los Angeles |
Very instructive half-day seminar. Great audiovisual presentation.
Sound logic, good content telling us lines of attacks on expert conclusions.

Fink, et al., Los Angeles |
This is a rarity! This is an honest man providing live in-front-of-you
real-time practical content of extraordinary value! It matters to
him not just to talk, but to teach. Compared to other seminars, this
is the best!
Wayne Morrow, 20+ expert depos, Los Angeles |
Excellent seminar. Excellent and extremely insightful practical
content. Fantastic presentation, conveyed the information very effectively.
Illustrated the concepts with TV cross-footage very well. "Logic"
made perfect sense to me.
Robert Brown, Los Angeles |
Musante is very talented. This seminar is as good as yesterday's
("Adverse") and better than others. Very applicable to deposing
construction defect experts.

Excellent! I wish I began my career learning from Musante. 1,000
times better than other half-day seminars.

Musante is very good; very focused; very conscientious; good use
of audio-visual aids; obviously well-prepared and knowledgeable. The
bottom line of the seminar is logic. Musante was able to distill the
conceptual rules of logic from what works for him in deposition in
a very effective way.

Silver, Santa Monica |
OUTSTANDING. I wish I had taken this course years ago. Musante
is also outstanding. With concentration and application, it should
improve the quality of my adverse expert depositions at least 100%!
LA City Attorney, 30-50 expert depos, Los Angeles |
Great practical content. Excellent instructor. This was more exciting,
memorable and organized than other half-day seminars.
Amanda DeJesus, 8 expert depos, Cal Trans Legal
Division, Los Angeles |
Very helpful and realistic, provides a practical real way to plan
to question an expert, as well as how to listen to them and get specifics
on the record at the least, and maybe with skill, start argument.
Musante is excellent and thorough. The reasoning is good, and as a
new attorney, it is a relief to consider a depo as trial, because
I welcome the opportunity to practice trial skills at places other
than trial.
Julie Del Rivo, Los Angeles |
Great examples from real life cases and arguments; great energy
and insights. Should greatly improve my depositions.
Judy Lam, 2 expert depos, Alschuler, Grossman, Stein
& Kahan, Los Angeles |
Impressive, useful, clear, organized, unarguably persuasive.
Mark Lowerre, Manhattan Beach |

Very relevant and helpful seminar. Musante is excellent with clear
command of content. It will certainly improve my expert depos; my
confidence and understanding of the task has been greatly improved.

Very useful practical content and very good instructor. Real-life
examples very good teaching tool.
Jessica Wolff, Los Angeles |
Excellent! Everything today was meaty material. Very sound "logic."
Most insightful in breaking down what seems so "innocent."
Excellent examples of techniques.

One of top 10 I've seen in 30 years for practical content. Haven't
been to a better seminar on "expert" depositions. Musante
uses state of art communications. He wants students to understand
and that makes a huge difference.

Excellent practical content. Excellent instructor.

Superior compared to other like seminars! Very good and well-conceived
practical content. Musante is very good, passionate and witty.
Anonymous, Los Angeles |
Highly useful and practical. Musante is great; uses props well and
is amusing at times. Very sound "logic" and very useful
"Opinion" attacks.
Anonymous, Los Angeles |
Musante is very good. Keeps audience alert. The use of real-life
examples was an excellent and entertaining way to demonstrate points.

Both the content and the instructor were effective and interesting.
There was a tremendous amount of information provided -- couldn't
write fast enough!
