What Our Clients Say

quote
I am very pleased to report that the parties in this case have reached a mediated settlement! We still have to execute a more formal agreement, but we were able to achieve an extraordinary result. There is no doubt whatsoever that your economic reports provided the foundation for this high-value resolution. Without your reports, this case would not have settled for the amount achieved. I very much look forward to the opportunity to work with you again!

“Kristin, It was a pleasure to see you last week. We wanted to reach out to thank you and let you know the outcome. The case settled for xxxx figures. The jury verdict came in as the settlement happened and their numbers were higher based on scenario 2. Your testimony and realistic figures facilitated the settlement and, as we were advised by the jury, helped them greatly in their deliberations. We look forward to working with you again soon.”
