We at Arnold & Green were more than satisfied with the work undertaken by Professor Dwan. It was a given that Jim was expert and erudite when it came to the highly technical matters which were involved and it was very helpful to us that Jim could relay the data in layman’s language to assist our comprehension of the technicalities which arose in relation to the esoteric aspects of cases. Overall, we were very satisfied that Dwan Forensic Engineering provided excellent advice and assistance on the various litigation claims which required the detailed forensic analysis which Jim could provide.
