With Dan Small of Holland & Knight, author of the best-selling book Preparing Witnesses

Your witnesses are not ready to testify. They aren’t ready until you make them ready!

Effective witness preparation absolutely defines the way that facts are delivered to a judge or jury. And nobody in the country is better at teaching lawyers to prep witnesses than nationally known speaker and author Dan Small.

This fast-paced seminar will teach you the most common mistakes witnesses (and lawyers) make, and practical, real-world techniques for avoiding them. You’ll get general techniques plus specific guidance for interview vs. testimony, deposition vs. trial, direct vs. cross, and lay witnesses vs. experts, doctors, former employees, civil parties and criminal defendants.

“Dan simplifies the task of convincing clients who are ‘too busy’ just how important preparation is, and how it should be done.” — Alan Dershowitz, Professor, Harvard Law School

“I have come to admire and respect Dan Small as an outstanding litigator. He is well known for his remarkable ability to prepare witnesses.” — Rudolph W. Giuliani, former Mayor of New York City
