Powerful Witness Preparation featuring Dan Small
Tags: Construction; Employment/Labor; Tort; Litigation/Trial Practice
Realize that testimony is far removed from a conversation. It is a precise and unnatural process that
requires meticulous preparation - a skill that can be taught, but not one that you've encountered in a
formal setting. Even if you've represented hundreds of witnesses, you can improve your abilities,
increase your winning percentage, improve your efficiency as an advocate, and drastically reduce the
stress of not knowing which way a witness might take you, or which way that witness might be led
astray!
Dan Small has built a brilliant career on his ability to prepare witnesses to be compelling advocates
for his client, even if the witness is his client. As a federal prosecutor, general counsel for a healthcare
management company, and as a partner at Holland & Knight, Small has used the same process that he will teach to you to introduce the witness to the foreign land of the deposition, hearing, or courtroom
and to prepare them to tell the story in a way that connects to jury or judge and produces winning
results.
He is a respected author on this subject - Preparing Witnesses: A Practical Guide for Lawyers and
Their Clients, (4th Edition, American Bar Association). Dan represents witnesses, plaintiffs and defendants in wide-ranging investigations and proceedings and in both civil and criminal litigation; that incredible breadth of experience is reflected in the bottom-line practical counsel he offers in this highly-acclaimed seminar.
Invest one precious day to discover new tips, tactics and techniques that will make you a more
effective advocate. Period.
