Dr. Edmond C. Gruss
One of the most respected published authors on the subject of cults and
religions, Dr. Edmond C. Gruss, has stated: "As a college professor for
thirty-six years and as the author of three books and a number of articles on
the Witnesses myself, I believe that Mr. Magnani could well be the most
well-informed person on the Jehovah's Witnesses in the world today (7/3/96)."
Dr. Gordon R. Lewis
Dr. Gordon R. Lewis, author of several writings on psychology and cults, including “Confronting the Cults”, senior professor of philosophy
and theology of Denver Seminary and former president of the Evangelical Theological Society and the Evangelical Philosophical Society, comments: “In my professional opinion, Duane
Magnani’s personal experience and years of specialized research qualify him to serve as an expert witness on the beliefs and practices of Jehovah’s Witnesses and how their
denunciations of Christian churches and of governments as Satanic agents will affect a child.” Furthermore: “Magnani’s considered judgment should make a vital contribution in a
custody case involving a Jehovah’s Witness parent and the determination of a child’s best interests” (7/4/96)
Dr. Jerry Bergman
Dr. Jerry Bergman, author of “Jehovah’s Witnesses and the Problem of Mental Illness” and many other writings on psychology and cults, comments:
“Duane Magnani has both more experience and has had more success in custody cases involving Jehovah’s Witnesses than anyone in the United States and likely anyone in the world. His
over 25 years of experience has allowed him to hone his approach so as to most effectively represent his clients. His knowledge and experience have served him and his clients very well. I have
been in the courtroom several times when he has testified, and was very impressed with his calm demeanor, articulate presentation, and informed testimony which, needless to say, is very effective
in helping his clients. I highly recommend him (6/8/10)
