I really appreciated your presentation. You packed so many nuggets of knowledge into a some what brief session. It was more than I expected And, to be honest, I wasn’t going to attend until I saw it was you who would be presenting. I also liked how you emphasized the importance of authenticity, how bringing your unfiltered personality helps make relationships deeper more quickly, and after ward more resilient and longer lasting. The example of an open-ended question such as “So, what has brought joy into your life lately?” really resonated with me. I want to come up with a few variations of this to use with people I meet, and also as an alternative to the perfunctory “so how’re ya doing?” I really enjoyed hearing your story and feeling your enthusiasm. I know we will be benefiting from your gift for a long time to come.

My client, a public official, hired Sameer in high-profile defamation litigation to provide an expert report and be prepared for testimony both remotely and at trial following an extensive search by my office. Our case involved defamatory content that was almost exclusively online and posed a very difficult damages calculation. When we brought Sameer on board, the litigation was already on a very tight case management schedule, but I am forever thankful he and his team worked quickly, and efficiently, and they were always available to communicate. Sameer and his incredible team analyzed the complexities of defamation on the internet and he offered a thoughtful and compelling opinion on damages. I highly recommend Sameer as an expert witness.
-Mark Scott
My client retained Sameer to serve as an expert witness in a defamation lawsuit, including the damages analysis. Sameer testified at the trial before the Orange County Superior Court in California. Even opposing counsel acknowledged on the record Sameer’s impressive qualifications. His demeanor in court was excellent and he seamlessly fielded questions from counsel and the court. From a lawyer’s perspective, Sameer was a great witness. Likeable and knowledgeable. Plus he worked really hard and devoted the time necessary to become fully prepared.
-Stephanie O'Byrne
Sameer testified as the “closing” or anchor expert witness in our TM infringement trial in federal court. He not only provided a thorough and well-considered expert report on SEO issues, but Sameer is also a fantastic communicator that developed a great rapport with the jury. His testimony was clear and engaging. Sameer is energetic and passionate in his work and this really translated on the stand. His enthusiasm on and off the stand was incredible, including being on hand to assist the trial team in any capacity he could during trial preparations. I believe our entire team would agree that Sameer was an incredible asset to the case. Just as importantly, he truly values the personal connections that he builds along the way. I could not provide him a higher recommendation for future expert work and consulting. Thank you again, Sameer!
