“Marc’s program was a 100% value add. Literally all of his suggestions were useful and many were quite important. I am a senior trial lawyer with over 30 years’ experience and I found Marc’s input and practical advice to be the best trial advocacy help I had since I went to trial practice training at the Department of Justice in the mid 1980′s.”

“Drawing upon his communication expertise as well as over twenty years as an actor, director and instructor, Marc Bauman has developed a method to strengthen attorneys’ courtroom communication and performance skills during jury trials. Throughout each jury trial, Marc has assisted each attorney with case strategy while offering several communication techniques that have been successfully applied in a variety of trial areas including jury selection, voir dire, opening statement, witness preparation, direct and cross-examination, use of exhibits, closing argument, and post-verdict juror interviews. In short, he enjoys my highest recommendation.”

“Marc Bauman provided me with extremely valuable feedback and analysis of my most recent trial. Marc’s amazing insight into interpersonal communication and courtroom performance gave me a deeper understanding of how I can be a more effective communicator at trial, verbally and non-verbally. He was constructive, yet analytical and incisive. I am confident that his insights would add value to any case that may go to trial — before trial in developing a compelling theory of the case and establishing thematic elements, during trial in effective openings, direct, cross, and more, and even after trial in improving your skills for the next time out.”

“I brought Marc on board to help an experienced trial attorney learn some new courtroom tricks – how to better use his voice, eyes and body to connect emotionally with jurors and thereby make his case presentation more powerful. Marc did a great job quickly understanding the attorney’s style and coaching him with simple, effective techniques to improve his performance. I recommend Marc if you want to keep improving two of your most important instruments of persuasion – your body and voice.”
