What Clients Say:
“John’s expertise is unmatched. The analysis saved my client from costly litigation.” – Defense Attorney in a Winter Weather Slip and Fall case.

“John’s Forensic Meteorology expertise was invaluable to a Flash Flood case. When a tragic flash flooding incident occurred in an isolated area, the closest weather reports did not reflect the true conditions at the site. There was not a certified storm report to be found. This posed a serious challenge. However, through his meticulous analysis and reconstruction of the weather patterns, John was able to demonstrate precisely what conditions were like when an individual encountered flood waters that unfortunately led to a loss of life. Despite what the broad regional data showed, he proved beyond a doubt that intense rainfall did occur in that location on that day and weather conditions played a part. John has an uncanny ability to dissect complex weather events and present the findings in a clear, easy-to-understand manner. His customized report helped bring a bit of justice to such a tragic incident. I would highly recommend retaining John for any legal matter involving the reconstruction of past weather or climate conditions. His skills and precision give attorneys and insurance companies the meteorological facts they need to effectively argue critical cases.” – Satisfied Personal Injury Attorney
