I met Gary through a LinkedIn search. I had taken a global food chain company to court for a food poisoning case, and the court adjourned my case so that I could secure an expert witness. With less than six weeks to spare and a limited budget, I searched the web, and after so many others had told me that they only deal with high profile cases, I stumbled across Gary’s profile just when I had pretty much given up on the case. Gary immediately got to work, doing thorough reviews, researched the company and within a short period, gave me the news for which I had been hoping. He would make the 4-hour drive from Maryland to represent me in New York. Being the skeptic that I am, I expected a no-show on the court date. Not only did Gary show up well before I arrived in court, but he was also well presented, and came fully prepared to deal with the barrage of questions from the judge and the attorney for the defendant. Needless to add that I WON the case! Gary was professional, provided fast turnaround time and was empathetic. If you are looking for a dependable and knowledgeable individual with expertise in foodborne illnesses, then Gary is the only expert you need.
