Sonia, I just finished a case that could have ended my career. I was up against silks, but your techniques were invaluable. I'm so grateful for your guidanceâthank you for all your help with my career!

K, Lawyer
Before this course, my cross-examination skills were practically non-existent. Now, I feel confident in court and can control witness responses effectively. The workbook is structured to build on your existing skills, even if youâre a novice. It debunks myths and teaches you exactly what you need to succeed. This course exceeded my expectations and is worth far more than its price. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their advocacy skills.

T, Lawyer
As a newly qualified lawyer, I faced my first cross-examination alone and was terrified. I found your YouTube video, âCross-Examination â How to Expose a Defendantâs Lies,â and it filled me with confidence. I applied your techniques and succeeded in the caseâmy first major win at the bar.Â

During the programme I had my best cross-examination performance yet â and I was completely shocked. For the first time, I thought, âCan I actually do this? Is it possible that I did, in fact, improve?â It was a pivotal moment where I started to believe in my ability. Iâm so grateful for the skills I gained through this programme.
Â

I finally understand how to build towards a conclusion in cross-examination and how to use EIC to support my drafting of evidence in my practising jurisdiction. These are game-changing skills that I didnât have before.

The programme exceeded my expectations in every way. The workbooks, notes, and especially the honest, personalized feedback were incredibly valuable â even when it was tough to hear. The combination of oral and written feedback complemented different aspects of the training, helping me improve with each performance.
I hear from advocates in my community all the time who feel stuck.
Theyâve done the work. Theyâre diligent, passionate and committed, but theyâre still not seeing results.Â
Hereâs the truth: Itâs not about working harder, itâs about mastering the skills and strategies that truly make a difference.
The solution is simple and itâs within your reach.

RWL, Pupil Barrister
Sonia has been an invaluable advocacy tutor both in preparation for my exams and now as I approach pupillage. She has greatly boosted my confidence in key areas such as technique, decision-making, thinking on my feet and getting me off script. What I appreciate most is her honest and constructive feedback, especially being honest about when I need further lessons and when I don't. Overall I have felt more able in advocacy and confident overall.Â

RN, Lawyer
Before working with Sonia, I struggled with confidence in trials and asking the right questions. I had tried learning from books, but nothing compared to the insightful feedback I received from her coaching sessions. Sonia's experienced suggestions have significantly improved my questioning style and the structure of my cases. This has increased my confidence immensely. I highly recommend Sonia to anyone looking to enhance their advocacy skills. She is a fantastic tutor and a kind personâdefinitely worth every penny!

CG, Lawyer
Sonia, thank you so much for your help in prepping for the trial. As you know I was a little rusty and needed to get up to speed. Your online course was very helpful and filled in a few gaps in my knowledge that many of the other publications missed out on. However, the face-to-face coaching and the feedback was invaluable. I am happy to recommend your services to both novice and more experienced advocates.

I came into this course with limited advocacy skills due to my lack of exposure in legal practice, but by the end, I felt significantly more confident. The live sessions were a game-changer; as one participant put it, 'An ounce of practice is worth a thousand words of theory.' I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to sharpen their advocacy skills.

My one-on-one advocacy training session with Sonia was incredibly helpful. Her feedback was constructive and concise, and she helped me see right away the ways in which I could improve my advocacy and preparation. I put it to good use straight away at Court and felt like I was more natural and engaged better with the Judge. It gave me more confidence and resulted in good outcomes for my clients. Advocacy is like a muscle you need to exercise, and Sonia is the best coach for it!

I found the entire programme invaluable. The pre-course materials provided a solid foundation, and the live sessions pushed me to put theory into practice. The feedback â both oral and written â was constructive, encouraging, and instrumental in helping me identify areas for improvement. What stood out the most was the personalised feedback; it wasn't always easy to take, but it was exactly what I needed to grow.Â

R, Lawyer
I just received my result for my Examination in Chief, and I got a Distinction! I am overwhelmed with emotion and happiness. Thank you so much for your support and guidance, Sonia!
