"The purpose of this letter, though, is to let you know the
jurors' reaction to you. After the jurors had rendered their defense
verdict in favor of my client, I had an opportunity to interview them
regarding the case. The jurors were favorably impressed by your testimony,
and considered you to be well prepared, easily understood and professional.
They were also complimentary of your ability to remain cool under
cross-examination and to explain with examples your conclusions and
opinions.
Obviously, this was an important case for our client with substantial
potential exposure had and adverse verdict been reached. One of the
key prongs of the defense we presented was based on your opinions
and testimony, and, as the comments of jurors bear out, those opinions
and testimony were convincing and relevant."

"Dr. Rappaport skillfully organized his talk to include both
Civil and Criminal aspects of psychiatry and, to the appreciation
of the audience, used easily understood terms and words in his address.
He described the importance of the psychiatric evaluation, his relationship
to the retaining attorney, and his approach to the patient. He offered
a wealth of examples from the cases, over 2000 and counting, that
he's worked on in 6 states."
