Customer Reviews
User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Expert Witness - easy style
This is an excellent book for the beginner who is interested in becoming an Expert Witness. The maxims are great in that after reading the chapter, you get one point made simply from all that was read. Also, this book gives you tips that you wouldn't normally think of -- even including how to dress for court.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Well worth the time to read if you testify as an expert
Everyone who has testified in Court has at least one horror story where the attorney made them look foolish or worse. This book prepares you with an understanding of the process, procedures and roles of courts and attorneys. Knowing how to handle those tough situations can increase confidence on the stand and reduce the disenchantment of having been "brow beaten" by an attorney. Everyone, but the most experienced expert witness will find this book invaluable.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Older but not out-of-date
This is Brodsky's very first book on Expert Witnessing and is now 6+ years old. It remains one of the best primers on what to expect, particularly for the psychologist, when working in a forensic environment. It is easy to read, has great stories, offers good citations, and covers a deceptively wide range of central issues for anyone wanting to be better prepared for work with lawyers and the courts. Each "chapter" is 2-3 pages in length, which makes them easy to read and digest in brief periods as each "chapter" is independent and stands alone well. I have read all three of the books in this "series" by Brodsky and continue to view this one as the best of the three.



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Psychological
I did enjoy this book and found vaious helpful and useful advice for testifying. However, the entire book is written from a psychologist's point of view and virtually all the examples and stories are from psychologist's testifying in court.

Being in the computer profession I had to relate how my experience would apply to the maxims and examples provided in this book. This was easy for some maxims, difficult for others, while some maxims and examples totally did not apply at all.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Invaluable for the Novice
After reading this book in preparation for an upcoming trial, I felt more confident and more in control for my role as an expert witness. I actually enjoyed testifying.
