Our firm has top scientific, market and engineering talent in our standing expert network.

We have provided detailed analyses of important issues in litigation for a number of other firms as well. For instance, our firm successfully concluded an engagement with Rogers, Patrick, Westbrook & Brickman, LLC to provide expert witness services that resulted in over $2.5 billion in settlements with major electric utility companies.[1] We also provided expert services to Cotchett, Pitre and McCarthy including calculation of damages and providing deposition and courtroom testimony in a case in which the State of California was litigating against BP America for overcharges for natural gas purchases. In that case, our efforts supported the securing of a $102 million settlement.[2] We have been engaged to provide litigation support in a class-action securities fraud cases against Exxon-Mobil[3], Southern Companies[4], and Energy Solutions[5] among other large, publicly-traded corporate entities.
We are capable of providing full and competent expert reports and testimony in litigation actions. These reports can categorically show the pattern of facts that support our client’s arguments. Our report will also satisfy all of the requirements and objections that can be raised in the Daubert and Frye Motions to Exclude that will ultimately be filed by opposing counsel to strike the evidence that we provide. We have provided testimony and have successfully defeated Motions to Exclude. We have been deposed a number of times and testified in Court having been certified as experts competent to discuss energy economic issues.[6] Our experts have never been excluded in any litigation.
We look forward to discussing our services with you at an appropriate time. Please advise us of your interest in speaking.
