If you're getting into the expert witness world, this book will rapidly get you up to speed on the basics and prepare you for more advanced issues to come. Everything I've read from Mangraviti and Babitsky is highest quality, accurate and powerful. Also helpful for staff who support experts.

There is no other single text like it. I encourage all of my students [all adult professionals] to buy and apply this text.

The book arrived in good condition and when it was supposed to. After giving the book a once over it apears to be what I expected.

This is the book that I wish I had read prior to my providing years of medical, professional, expert testimony under oath at alleged medical malpractice matters including my deposition testimony and my testimony at trial.

The authors wisely recommend that defense experts, "Calling cases as one sees them even if the testimony of the expert is unfavorable to the attorney who retained the expert. Honesty and truthfulness are paramount."

Experts are empowered to endorse, "I cannot help you because my position on the issues is completely at odds with your theories. I prefer not to get involved because the issues are not in my areas of expertise."

Nothing is sacred! Nothing is omitted! "The expert should ask retaining counsel to arrange the break schedule at the beginning of the deposition."

Experts are further empowered, under our Federal Rules of Civil Procedure to ask to be paid prior to the deposition." Medical professional experts will be empowered to learn that; "The law provides protection from unfettered admission at trial of all of the expert's skeletons in the closet." "Settled malpractice claim against expert not proper subject of cross-examination to show he made mistakes in the past." Medical professional experts will be relieved to read, "Failure to obtain Board Certification not admissible where expert was defendant in the case," However the authors wisely caution that the court may well have arrived at a different result had the expert not been the defendant in this matter.

I breathed my sigh-of-relief on reading, "There are limits to what experts can be asked on cross-examination."

Truly a must read text for any and all designated Allied Healthcare Provider Professional medical experts prior to medical record review and prior to deposition testimony and prior to trial testimony.

With humility and with respect to my legal colleagues in our Judge Advocate General Corps with whom I was humbly privileged to serve as a Far East Military Clinic U.S. Army Medical Corps Commanding Officer, this text is a humbly suggested read for attorneys (both defense and plaintiff) ---serving clients in alleged med/mal/matters ---who may well reasonably choose to recommend this text to their designated medical experts prior to their sworn testimony at deposition and at trial.
