This is what the Journal of the American Medical Association [JAMA. 2008;299(10):1197-1198.] had to say about Book I-“Medical Malpractice Expert Witnessing is unique in its focus on serving the medical expert witness, as opposed to more generalized books that address the "expert witness" as a catchall for a variety of professions. Those physicians interested in learning more about or entering the field of providing expert witness in medical malpractice cases should consider this reference work for the astute advice and helpful recommendations artfully detailed.” - Alan G. Williams, JD, Reviewer; Book and Media Reviews. Journal of the American Medical Association [JAMA. 2008;299(10):1197-1198.]
