"Attacking
the Expert's Opinion"
Excellent practical content. Musante is an amazing and dedicated teacher.
He has proved his construct! This seminar will improve my trial ability
and skills.
Geoffrey S. Lauter, California AG's Office, San Francisco
Quick-paced, not boring, very helpful and informative. Musante is knowledgeable
and interesting. Very uniform "expert opinion construct"; can
be widely applied to all sorts of experts.
James Choo, 5 expert depos, Cholakian & Assoc.
Good content; good pace. Musante is enthusiastic and knows his material
well. I am anxious to try these techniques at my next expert depo.
Michael Kerins, 100+ expert depos, Senn Meulemans
Excellent seminar...excellent speaker...not a dull moment...well-organized.
This seminar will encourage me to be more thorough than I might otherwise
be, and to break down opinions more effectively.
Emilie Calhoun, 2 expert depos
This seminar hits the important points consistently. Musante has a great
ability to analyze and formulate his approach. This seminar is much more
thorough than others.
Gerald Learn
Excellent seminar...very practical. Every time I have training with Musante,
I find myself cross-examining witnesses in my head and looking forward
to the day I get to put it into practice. Musante is highly engaging...seminar
doesn't drag at all...I didn't even need any coffee to stay awake.
Peter Flores, Sacramento D.A.
Excellent practical content; excellent instructor. This will put me at
a good advantage. Baden testimony is a wonderful exemplar.
James A. Michel
Excellent instructor. Very good practical content; makes a great deal
of sense. Less of a "how-to" than a development of a systematic
method for analyzing expert testimony and crafting depo strategies and
questions. I'll begin applying these [techniques] immediately.
Mark Choate, 400+ expert depos, Choate Law Firm
Excellent practical content. Musante is excellent: enthusiastic, dynamic
speaker; educational and entertaining.
Dave Boston, 150-200 expert depos, Laughlin, Falbo,
Levy & Moresi
Excellent. Wish I had taken this before all the depos I've taken in my
career. Excellent instructor. Will improve the quality of my expert depos
100%.

Excellent practical content; excellent instructor. The real value of
this seminar is that it not only alerts every lawyer, maybe even forces,
to approach an expert deposition with a critical perspective, and provides
the needed tools to tackle the task.
William Gwire, 30-50 expert depos, Gwire Law Offices
Excellent. I have never taken an expert depo, but got a lot out of this
seminar and now feel prepared to take one. Musante took a complex topic
and put it in a lay person's terminology making it easily understood.
Michael T. Christy, Dillingham & Murphy
Excellent. Confirms unrealized logical steps already in use.
Barrett Braun, 50 expert depos, Clifford Hirsch
Excellent. Will improve the quality of my expert depos considerably.
I will employ it and adapt it to my depo-taking, especially in planning
them.
Edward Ardzrooni, 40 expert depos
Very informative. Musante is amusing and very effective. Many more practical
techniques than other "expert" seminars; no dry "info-only"
stuff.
Jessica L. Chylik, 1 expert depo, The Epstein Group
Absolutely necessary practical information. Musante goes beyond the basic
cullet-points of normal trial techniques and gets to the minutia, along
the way de-mystifying the expert deposition. He gives David a game plan
against all expert Goliaths. He is an excellent instructor, entertaining
and energetic. Time is definitely a factor, but Musante squeezed much
efficiently into the time we had.
Carlos J. E. Guzman, 3 expert depos, Kazan McClain
Excellent practical content; excellent instructor. Musante has reduced
the complexity of the expert depo to a formula.
Connie McBrien
Very useful. Musante is excellent; extremely articulate which makes the
seminar lively and inspirational. The "expert formula" provides
a guideline for the examination that weakens the force of the opinion
and the credibility of the expert.
Catherine Dacre, 4 expert depos, Seyfarth Shaw
Very helpful. Musante is excellent and entertaining. Will remind me to
be a more critical listener to the answers given, follow up on the reasoning
of the experts and the basis for those reasons in a more focused and organized
manner, and not be so intimidated by their "expertise."
Jennifer O'Sullivan, 20 expert depos, Bacalski Byrne
& Koska
Best I've been to. Will hopefully help my expert depos a lot; with the
constructs learned here, I will have a more organized an pointed game
plan.
Sharon Douglass Mayo, 5 expert depos, Arnold & Porter
The best. Great practical content; Musante is always excellent. I'll
be much more effective.
Lawrence Mann, 150 expert depos
An excellent, highly valuable seminar. Great instructor: lively, entertaining,
communicates well, engaging, extremely knowledgeable. This is graduate
school for lawyers ... the others are grade-school level.
Wes Wagnon, 100 expert depos, Kazan McClain
Very good. Will use it immediately.
John Murphy, 100 expert depos, Rahn, Holbrook &
Murphy
Musante shows the importance of the depo and what a powerful tool it
is for later use in all aspects of the litigation. He is dynamic and keeps
the attention of the audience. Has laid the groundwork for taking expert
depos. Stresses the importance of getting expert rules and opinions nailed
down during the depo to use later at trial.
Heather Marlow, Latham & Watkins
Excellent. Provides an analytical basis for approaching any expert depo.
Extremely helpful.
Christopher Dahms, 20 expert depos
Excellent practical content; excellent instructor. I am more confident
that I can competently conduct an adverse expert depo.
James Michel
Great video clips to underscore points; great analysis. An interesting,
compelling, attention-getting presentation. Will help immeasurably.
Brad Waugh, Day, Casebeer, Madrid & Batchelder
Musante is excellent; kept my attention, I stayed engaged throughout.
I anticipate it will improve my expert depos greatly.
Anonymous, 12 expert depos, Dudnick, Detwiler, Rivin
& Stikker
Outstanding ... no, remarkable ... no, unparalleled ... no, beyond comparison.
Will demystify the adverse depo and remove the notion that you cannot
take on an expert in his or her field of expertise.
Anonymous, 5 expert depos
Excellent practical content; excellent instructor.
Anonymous, 1 expert depo, Berg & Parker
Excellent course, I feel like I'm ready to depose anyone. I hope to become
a "depo god."

Good deal of information put together well, given the time limitations.
Musante keeps it interesting and keeps us engaged; an excellent speaker.

Effective use of examples and video clips. Good communication skills,
interesting stories and effective/clear handouts. This seminar has identified
a framework that may be applied to different experts in different fields.
Anonymous, Dillingham & Murphy
Very good practical content; very good instructor. Will make me a better
cross-examiner, and it will likely improve my direct as well.
Anonymous
Extremely practical because tools apply to any type of expert. Will make
me more of a critical listener, able to recognize different opinions,
different rules, etc.
Anonymous, 1 expert depo
Excellent practical content. It's nice to see the bases of an expert
opinion set forth with clarity and simplicity. This seminar has been an
excellent learning tool. Will change the way I prepare for and take an
expert depo.

"Attacking
the Expert's Pedestal"
Excellent seminar...more practical than others in this series of seminars--and
the others are all very practical. Musante is very engaging. Kept me awake
through the entire seminar.
Peter Flores, Sacramento D.A.
Musante is a very effective communicator. The seminar pace was good...powerpoints
on point...his style is engaging. Musante's use of Dr. Baden was very
effective. It was good to use one expert to make several points.
Caroline Park
Excellent seminar...excellent speaker. Before this seminar, I hadn't
thought before to use the "lead and intensify with rhetoric"
tactic. This seminar will help improve my expert depos immensely.
Emilie Calhoun, 2 expert depos
This seminar is wonderful. It will absolutely help me take a better expert
deposition.
