Testimonials

“I am writing to thank you for your efforts on behalf of our company and firm at the recent trial. Your support was most appreciated. You did a wonderful job testifying at the trial as well. We look forward to working with you again in the future.”

“The case settled yesterday, and our clients are happy. Thank you for all of your help in this matter. We will certainly not hesitate to call on you again when the need arises.”

“We were able to reach a favorable settlement in our case after an all day mediation. This is thanks in large part to your hard work on this and your reports, which we believe caused plaintiff serious concern and got them to come down from their demand significantly.”

“My insurance company genuinely appreciates the work FFA performed on our behalf. The time – literally days – spent on examining and analyzing the evidence both at the site and in your labs, resulted in a recovery for both the carrier and the insured. It was a long hard journey.”

“I would like to thank you for your great work on this case. We proceeded to a mandatory federal court mediation… and the case has now settled. I look forward to working with you on a future case.”
