1. Letter excerpts from attorneys who have engaged Mr. Nissenberg.
2. Testimonials - Seminar attendees at "Truck Accident Litigation in a Nutshell."
3. Testimonials - Seminar attendees at "Advanced Seminar on Commercial Trucking Law & Litigation."

1. From the plaintiffs attorney in Baltimore, Maryland who successfully represented the plaintiff in Schramm v. Foster, 341 F.Supp. 2d 536 (D. Md. 2004):
   "I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your help in the case of Tyler Schramm vs. C.R. Robinson. As you know, the area of trucking litigation is complex with regard to the issues dealing with regulations, public policy, tort and trucking procedures. Your book, seminar and direct advice was invaluable in bringing the case to a successful conclusion."
   
   
2. From a defense attorney in Montgomery, Alabama:
   "As you and I discussed during our last conversation, although my understanding of Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations and their applicability to these types of cases is, like many lawyers, not totally clear, there is little or no doubt in my mind that your involvement in this case has helped me understand the big picture on how these regulations work with these types of claims. In addition, I believe that the deposition given by you in this case and taken by the Plaintiffs attorney is one of the factors that caused the Plaintiff to drop her initial policy limits settlement demand and settle this case for a fraction of the potential exposure and insurance coverage available to [my client] in this case."
3. From a plaintiffs attorney in Fresno, California:
   "Your seminar and the accompanying written materials were invaluable in our work-up of this case. Furthermore, we think our supplemental designation of you as an expert proved helpful; shortly thereafter, defendants' counsel offered to withdraw their designation of the trucking company's two employees as "experts", which we found to be quite interesting."
