Acknowledgments

It’s not the Academy Awards, so I’ll try not to go on forever. I just have a

few thank-yous to extend.

To my friend Greg Brooks, the most brilliant Public Affairs/Crisis

Management expert, and Graphic Artist, I have ever known—thank you

for writing the final “Working with the Media” chapter, creating the DVD

ad in this book, creating my DVD covers and the graphics that kick off my

Being Heard: Presentation Skills for Attorneys and Public Speaking Made

Easy DVDs, and all of your many years of help.

To Honey Amado, Ben Shatz, Robin Meadow, Karen Kimmey, and

retired Judge Brian Van Camp—thank you for taking the time out of your

incredibly busy schedules to write such great guest chapters specifically

related to in-court presentations. To Beranton Whisenant—thank you for

your input on our in-court chapters—you are missed. To Grace Brooks—

thank you for your witty cartoons and invaluable editing. And to Kevin

Theiss, thank you for your terrific editing as well.

To the many judges and justices I interviewed and chatted with over

the years—and there are too many to name—thank you for your great

stories, your tips for attorneys, and your time.

Tim Brandhorst—thank you for your original faith in me and your

feedback and advice for this book. John Palmer, with the ABA—thank

you for your subsequent faith in me and your feedback and advice for the

book as well.

To everyone who took the time to read this book and provide input

as well as your fantastic testimonials—thank you!

And to all of the people—attorneys, judges, justices, and others—who

have spoken at my company’s Continuing Legal Education seminars across

the country, you have my heartfelt appreciation for your time and energy,

and sometimes even stories for this book.

Well, I guess I did go on forever. If you actually read this page, thank

you as well.
