Bond Solon Reviews

Great trainer, very knowledgeable and engaging. Made the subject interesting and gave great advice.

Great

I thought Rob Gray was absolutely brilliant. He was extremely knowledgeable, interesting and professional. It was clear to me that he really took the time to go through all of our statements, and find real and genuine things to grill us on which therefore made it more realistic and allowed me to feel the pressure and nerves so that when the time comes I will know exactly how it will make me feel and then I can calm myself down knowing that it is not as scary as it seems and that really I shouldn't be scared of giving evidence. I also like how Rob gave each one of us a fair and deserved grilling despite there being so many of us in the class! I now know that I can turn to the judge and ask that I be given time to answer the question properly should the barrister talk over me. I also feel empowered now because I know that when the defence barrister attacks witnesses, it is never personal and is simply a case of them doing their job. I also understand that I should not try to anticipate what I will be asked and try not to think too far ahead, instead I should just answer the question put in front of me. Thank you very much, Rob

Great

Very good and enjoyable

Trainer was great and engaging with a court-style workshop. Materials could have been tailored more specifically to housing sector.

I found this especially useful and will be relevant to my job when and if I have to attend court.

Absolutely fantastic experience. I feel more equipped to discharge my duties after my sessions with Geraint Jones. He is able to give great real word examples that keep you engaged.

The Course was well delivered. Mr Richard Stone is very knowledgeable and made the session engaging.

The course was incredibly insightful. Richard Stone managed to demystify the legal requirements for expert witnesses. I now have a much clearer understanding of how to structure my reports to comply with CrPR Part 19 and the 2023 Practice Directions. The distinction between fact and opinion was a key takeaway for me.
