Help is on the way!

Introducing a Seminar created for an assistant DA just like you!

Attend Mike Nifong’s Award Winning Seminar:

Nifonging your way To Success!

After 27 years of languishing in the Durham DA’s back office, Durham's ADA Mike Nifong was tired of watching other ADAs move up the chain. Sick of seeing others take on national cases, Mike became convinced he had to change his life! Applying self-help philosophy, Mike read all he could, and researched the works of such notables as Johnnie Cochran and Senator Joseph McCarthy. Mike turned to his many years in the Traffic Department and distilled what he had learned on the job!

Working during breaks in his hectic life dealing with traffic tickets, Mike slowly built and developed his winning tips, applied what he learned to himself and catapulted his dying career into the Stratosphere!

Finally Mike is going to share these lessons with you in this once in a lifetime seminar.
You will hear Mike’s strategic tips that nobody taught you in Law School!

Police and DA Relationship

1) Injecting yourself into the police investigation.
2) Making that special connection inside the police force.

I'd hold off on signing up for the seminars. I'm betting the prices drop significantly at about 7:00pm on November 7.
