Testimonials

One of the best I’ve ever seen.
"I have read a great deal of expert's reports and yours was one of the best I've ever seen. I have been impressed by the quality of your written reports and thank you for your very thorough analysis."
Emily Jones, Esq. - Jones Law Firm, PLLC
Highly recommended.
"Joe’s thoroughness and ability to dig into the numerous possible causes of a boiler failure were absolutely necessary for a successful resolution of our dilemma. After a site visit, Joe then simplified the complex issues into an easy to understand, detailed, and thoroughly documented report all the while providing outstanding customer support for any questions or help we needed. We would highly recommend Joe."
Licensed Professional Engineer - Engineering Firm
Likely prevented serious accidents.
“This analysis saved us a lot of money and likely prevented serious accidents.”
Manager - Public Services Company
I would not hesitate to retain Joseph again.
"I retained a lab [in CA] that wanted to charge me 9.5 hours to review their own notes prior to a phone call with the opposing side's expert. I thought all experts worked this way, until I met Joseph from Materials FACT. Joseph was knowledgeable on the tests I would need to prove my assertions in court. Ultimately, all of the tests he suggested were useful in negotiating a favorable outcome. Only hours spent doing actual work was billed. If time was needed to review in house notes, that was off the clock. If I were involved in another lawsuit involving packaging materials, I would not hesitate to retain Joseph again."
Eric Lee, COO - Rice Field Corp.
Everyone told us this can’t be done.
“Everyone told us this can’t be done.”
PhD Mechanical Engineer - Manufacturing Company
Reliable testimony, expertise and professionalism.
“I had the pleasure of working with Joseph Quinn on a particular case which relied heavily on expert testimony. In his role as an expert witness, Mr. Quinn kept detailed records and consistently followed up with our firm. It was immensely reassuring to have retained someone with the level of expertise and professionalism he brought to the case. Were it not for Mr. Quinn's reliable testimony, our firm would have had much more difficulty settling the matter. I would happily recommend Mr. Quinn to any attorney, paralegal, or law firm seeking an expert in mechanical failure.”
Mr. Stephen Brown - Bearnson & Caldwell, LLC
Quality service with fast response.
“I am pleased to recommend Materials FACT for failure analysis, materials testing and characterization. Mr. Quinn has proved time and time again that they can provide quality service with a fast response, that really is useful for a small company like ours. The level of professionalism is also very high. I am very pleased with the overall user-experience and would not hesitate to recommend Materials FACT to anyone."
