Real Results from Real Attorneys

"I love your videos. I have been an attorney for 45 years and have won numerous multi million dollar judgments, including a judgement a couple of months ago for 58 million dollars. I feel like I am learning so much from watching these videos."

Nathan Goldberg

Allred, Maroko & Goldberg.

"I've been a trial attorney now for 45 years and Dave Sugden's presentation on trial practice was brilliant. Even after all of these years, I learned so many new things today about trial practice from the beginning of trial through closing argument. It was absolutely golden."

Wayne W. Call

"Business Trial Academy was so amazing. I couldn't even express it fully because I don't think words could encapsulate the relief, clarity, and confidence I obtained from this class. He unshrouded the mysterious strategies of both plaintiffs and defendants, not just for opening and closing but also for direct, cross, depositions, and evidence - in one single day - I was not expecting to learn that much, but he pulled it off masterfully."

"What I like about Evidence at Trial and Dave Sugden’s approach to providing this type of MCLE, which I think is so different than any other MCLE course, is his focus is on building a community of lawyers that are really striving to get to that next level of legal practice."

"I’ve attended Mr. Sugden’s MCLE course in the past and I recommend his course to any attorney seeking to acquire or sharpen their trial skills. I would not hesitate to take another one of his MCLE courses. He has spurred my growth as an attorney which has improved my practice overall. I am grateful he takes the time out of his practice to impart his knowledge and trial experience to attorneys seeking to improve their skill set."
