On a regular basis, we provide Past Weather Records, In-Depth Meteorological Analysis, Long Term Studies, Detailed Written Reports, Affidavits, Depositions, Site Visits and Live Expert Testimony for many different kinds of cases. Each year, we work as weather experts on approximately 150-200 cases Nationwide. Thanks to the detailed products we provide and a solid reputation that has come from numerous referrals, we continue to grow year over year.  Or goal is to provide past weather information and opinions to anyone who needs to know what the weather was at some time and location in the past.  Whether it's for the Plaintiff, Defense, insurance company, a Fortune 500 company or a private citizen, we'll provide accurate weather information and opinions to whomever retains us. 

We understand that you have some choices when it comes to working with a weather expert. But in our mind, we are the most reliable, most reasonable and the easiest to work with.  Our work and results speak for themselves. Many of our new clients tell us that they were referred to us by one of their colleagues who said we do excellent work.  Other clients have told us that they hired us because we were involved in a case where I was the expert against them, for the other side, and they were impressed with my work. Like we tell the jury when we are on the stand, we work for anybody who needs to know what the weather conditions were at some time and location in the past. We often get called by both the Plaintiff and Defense side of the same case at least a dozen times a year. We always do a thorough and complete job for all of our clients and we tell you what the weather was, accurately and honestly.  We have also been retained on many international cases including shipping and cruise line incidents in Cancun, Puerto Rico, Saint Maarten, the Bahamas and the Tropical Atlantic.

Our firm is well known for accuracy, dependability and for the fast and detailed services we provide at a very reasonable price. The written reports we generate are very detailed and prepared for the location of the incident. They are easy to understand and are frequently used to prepare affidavits, motions for summary judgements, expert disclosures and other court documents.

We have access to many different types of weather records, data and Doppler radar images. We know exactly which weather stations are the closest to the incident location, what records to obtain and how to use them to prepare the most accurate and detailed written reports possible. All of this for the exact location of the incident, not just the closest airport.

So, if you have a case that you're working on and need to know exactly what the weather conditions were at some time and place in the past, please give us a call. We'd be happy to discuss our services in more detail and how we can help you. Our main office phone number is (518) 862-1800.
