“Without the coaching, support and direction provided to me by Katherine, my testimony may have not turned out as well as it did. I finally understood what I was doing. I had control over the situation. I was ready to move forward without the sense of anxiety or dread that I had been feeling.
I want to give my personal recommendation to anyone that may need assistance preparing for depositions, trial or other situations where questions may determine your fate. Katherine’s years of experience and her dedication were instrumental to my successful outcome. I cannot thank her enough for her time, suggestions and direction.”
~ Charles C., Maryland
“Thank you for your extraordinary assistance and insight over the past several days in working with our wonderful clients. Working with you is always an extraordinary experience, both for me as the attorney and for the client. Your compassion and insight are invaluable in assisting clients in these challenging times to prepare for such a significant and potentially life-altering event as deposition or trial.
Thank you again Katherine, and I very much look forward to our next opportunity to work together.”
~ Bruce L. Scheiner, Associates & Bruce L. Scheiner, Attorneys for the Injured
“I used Katherine to help prepare a married couple for depositions in their collision case. The 60 year old husband was naturally quiet, and due to the narcotic pain medication he was taking he seemed to be awake ½ the time. The wife was nervous and too talkative. She wanted to blurt out everything she knew with every answer. Katherine did a great job with them, but the best part was that at trial a year later, it stuck. They both did a great job at trial, and they were invincible on cross.”
~ Phillip Miller, Phillip Miller & Associates
“I just tried an Age Discrimination case in Federal Court in Jackson using the techniques you’ve taught, and by God they work. I can’t tell you how good it felt when I saw three days of witness preparation of my client produce an effective witness out of a scared blabbermouth. We also called witnesses in sequence based on establishing plaintiffs positive character elements BEFORE he took the stand. Took much of the power out of defense cross. And I went through most of the opening telling a story in present tense which is still not easy or intuitive, but at least I recognize the difference when I fall back into old habits. This is the long version of THANK YOU for what I have learned while listening, and for me most importantly WATCHING you.”
~ Lewis Cobb, Spragins, Barnett & Cobb
“Jury members afterwards told my client she had a ‘great advocate who did not act like that other attorney.’ That other attorney was a ‘super lawyer’ in the field of commercial litigation. That super duper attorney was LAWYER MAN. Thank you, Katherine and Alan.”
~ Randolph M. James, P.C. Attorneys
“During our prep, a client had a total meltdown the day before he took to the witness stand. Tears, swearing, threats to quit. I thought, what would Katherine do, what would Katherine do, what would Katherine do?
I told him I needed him to be my anchor man. No drama, no anger, just the facts. Just report the news. Anchor man. That’s what I told him like 50 times. He was a dream. Did just perfectly and was cool as a cucumber with only a tiny shaky voice and teary eyes. It was amazing.”
~ Pamela Pantages, The Becker Law Firm, LPA
“Following your advice had a real and practical impact on my last closing argument. You could tell that the arbitrators were following every word; the pace of delivery had the effect of completely sucking the air out of the room. It was really something to see how the arbitrators were following me and my argument. My co-counsel couldn’t stop talking about how great it was!”
~ Adam Scott Weintraub, Savage O’Donnell Affeldt Weintraub & Johnson
"All lawyers are actors, or should be. The work of this organization greatly improves techniques, sensitivity and communication, and above all, the art of persuasion."
~ Browne Greene, Greene Broillet & Wheeler, LLP
"You add a wonderful layer to the advocacy and teaching skills I have learned through NITA. It’s a wonderfully freeing discovery to find I have a secret weapon: ME! Thank you and hats off to you."
~ Thomas J. Leach, Program Director, NITA. Director for the Center for Legal Advocacy and Professor of Law, Pacific McGeorge School of Law
"The very positive feedback is all raves… everyone statewide wants me to schedule additional seminars with you!"
