You want to spend just the right amount of time and money on marketing that keeps you working as an expert witness on a consistent basis.

“I wish this book had been written 30 years ago. Its valuable wealth of information took me 20 years and a lot of hard knocks to get. Simply invaluable, you cannot afford to be without it.” -Dan Jackson, CPA, CMC, CFE
“This book has "something for everyone." For the would-be expert, it’s a panoramic preview of the arena and the players. For the practicing expert striving to grow, it’s the operational manual of protocol, strategy and logistics. For the seasoned expert it’s the checklist for validating performance and fine-tuning skills.” -Anne Galvi, M.D.
