He testified for Steve Sachs against me about five years ago. He gave up a lot on cross. I will look for the transcript. There should be some transcripts of him giving testimony for defendants as well.

He has a blog Mentor.com I think, in which he teaches trial practice to pltfs lawyers and shares all his secrets.

Plaintiff is calling Jonathan Vapnek MD (urologist) in a trial starting this month. If anyone has anything within the past 3-5 years on this guy, I would greatly appreciate it.

Also, any input/information on Andrew Smiley of Smiley & Smiley would be great as well. His partner, Jason Friedman, has been handling the file up to now. Jason seems like a decent guy – straight shooter but I have not had any dealings with Smiley.

Much appreciated,

Craig
