"Great! Adverse Depositions: Principles and Principal Techniques" The best I have ever attended. Superb balance of well prepared presentation,
with relevant examples and humor. Time went very fast, i.e., no boredom!!
Using concepts will greatly improve my ability to focus on important issues
of fact and recognize how to expose false testimony and use it to my best
advantage. |

Great seminar. Energizing instructor. Provides a thoughtful practical
approach to depos. |
| Excellent and very practical. Excellent delivery, good
examples and rapport with class. Far more insightful and useful than other
full-day seminars. Edward O. Ogilvie, 22-yr atty, 150 depos |
| Extremely straightforward and useful. Helpful in showing
application to real court situations. Musante is very knowledgeable and
dynamic; keeps audience interested. Vernon Stejskal, 7-yr atty, 5 depos |

Very helpful, great education. Very polished instruction, kept the audience's
attention using various mediums. |
| Very informative as to strategy and tactics. Musante's
enthusiasm and extensive preparation make the time fly by. More informative
and entertaining than other seminars. Mitchell Jones, 10-yr atty |
| I'm not a "litigator," but we all have to
represent clients at depositions. This seminar will cause me to prep my
client for the deposition much more thoroughly. Musante is very entertaining
and the examples are very good. Speaks with knowledge of personal experiences
which breeds trust. This is one of the best presentations we've ever had
in these seminars. Bryce Pettey, 27-yr atty |
| This is the best ever. Excellent practical content;
excellent instructor. It will give me more confidence. Anonymous |
| Very useful seminar. Musante is excellent. Good variety,
incredible energy. Interesting. I expect this to improve my practice. Robert Smith, 22-yr atty |
|
I didn't fall asleep after lunch in this one ... a first! A good overview
with useful information. Musante puts a lot of energy into the presentation,
examples were effective in keeping interest. I will look at depositions
as a valuable tool now. |
|
Very few seminars will hold your attention for a full day. This one succeeds.
Very well organized with a high entertainment factor. Musante proved to
me that a deposition should be looked at as the trial ... not preparation
for the trial. I do not do many depositions ... this seminar actually
makes me want to do more. |
| Very valuable presentation. Definitely expands my thinking
and will improve how I approach all steps in litigation, not just depositions.
Alan Stubbs |
| Excellent practical information and advice! Extraordinary
variety of teaching techniques: video, slides, stories, personal experience,
current events, voice inflection, all merged into a coherent presentation.
Much more entertaining and much more memorable information than other full-day
seminars. This one kept my interest and attention. This seminar will thoroughly
improve my adverse depositions. Alan B. Sevison, 7-yr atty, 2 depos |
|
Much more extensive set of guidelines for taking depositions than any
other seminar I have attended. This seminar will have an immediate positive
impact on obtaining useful information from depositions. |
|
One of the best practice seminars I've attended. Very informative and
helpful. Musante's great. He is entertaining as well as informative. I
feel re-energized and look forward to applying the techniques. |
| The best. Excellent -- maybe the most useful I've seen
-- certainly the best on trial and deposition skills. A better blending
of deposition uses and techniques with practical applications at trial. Anonymous, 23-yr atty, 300-500 depos |
| Good practical content for my civil practice. Musante
is very entertaining; holds the audience, good communicator. More entertaining
than others I've attended. Made me realize how important it is to conduct
well thought out, purposeful depositions. Will definitely affect my use
of depositions and my strategy. Paul McConkie, 11-yr atty, 5 depos |
| No comparison to others! Musante still had my attention
at the end of the day. Good job getting us to think "outside the box."
Excellent practical applications. Discovery will take a whole new role.
Preliminary hearings have an additional purpose as well. Paul Graf, 24-yr atty |
| Great! Up there with the excellent ones. Wonderful teacher
and speaker. Anonymous, 9-yr atty |
| Stellar, topnotch, brilliant, life-altering. Jason Perry, 4-yr atty |
| Excellent. Better than most. This was an affirmation
of my rules, but I wish others would realize this is the way to go. Reinforces
and adds a few new tricks. Bless Young, 30-yr atty, 500+ depos |
| A masterful blend of practical advice, war stories,
humor, and good and bad examples from famous cases. Fred Voros |
|
First rate seminar. Overflows with a common sense approach to the task.
Musante is very precise and entertaining. I didn't see anyone sleeping.
This seminar will improve my deposition-taking quality by light years. One of the best seminars...great teacher. Very useful seminar...it challenged my firmly-held beliefs in a manner
that was insightful and perhaps more importantly practical. Superior seminar. Excellent seminar...it ties together some deposition concepts I have
unconsciously developed on my own and added a great deal more. Excellent seminar--it has provided, and reinforced, many important practical
issues. Musante is clear, organized, has good material to emphasize points
and assist in remembering for later use. Seminar's practical value = 8.5 out of 10 (as a gauge, most/average CLEs
rate about a 5 out of 10). Musante's a 9 out of 10! Excellent seminar...liked the powerpoint presentation. This seminar is much more valuable and entertaining than others...extremely
practical, interesting examples! Musante's presentation is engaging; other one-day seminars have been
a challenge to sit through with meaningful learning and listening. Musante
keeps the discussion interesting; great powerpoint graphics to illustrate
each point. Excellent seminar...much better than most. This seminar will help me
focus to improve the quality of my adverse depositions. Conducting depositions
is often done too haphazardly. Excellent...superior! Very practical seminar...takes the fear out of doing these! I feel like
a killer deposer now! Musante is very good...engaging...kept interest
level high. Musante's presentation was well-organized in a way to emphasize important
points. Good presentation of a broad subject in a short time. This seminar
was more interesting than usual. This seminar was better than expected. The examples used are very helpful--real
life examples are much better than dry text. Musante does a nice job analyzing
answers in depth to demonstrate why the next question needs to be asked.
