I hope I can impress upon Toby how good Erik is…It's not just that Erik is smart and personable and calm, but he affirmatively called me to make sure we were on track… He was driving his train, which kept the administration pressure off of me…Erik was critical to our success.

“Dr. Hayes impressed the court as an expert witness whose testimony was offered with a view toward assisting the court in understanding technical information in a neutral and unbiased manner. He was a very credible witness.”
— Judge, United States District Court
“Dr. Hayes was instrumental in taking a case in which a jury returned a verdict of $832,000, to a verdict on retrial of $640! I wish we had used him in the first trial as the jury loved him. I have learned my lesson and involve his team in my most difficult cases.”

“A few jurors spoke with me after the [Defense] verdict was read…a HUGE part of their decision was based on [Erik Power’s] testimony. They found
him very credible [and] knowledgeable.”
— Defense Attorney
“[Erik Power] did an outstanding job [at a jury trial in 2007]. He was extremely well prepared [and] his testimony and presentations were excellent…[S]everal of the jurors approached me after returning a nearly immediate unanimous defense verdict. [A] juror explained that Mr. Power was the best [of our excellent experts]. He was surprised to hear that this was the first time Mr. Power had ever testified in a trial. ”
— Defense Attorney
“All of the jurors told us they were most impressed with [Dr. Hayes’s] explanation of the medical causation issue…no one had ‘compared the impact from the incident to the impacts experienced in the ordinary activities of daily living’…They clearly felt [Dr. Hayes’s] explanation was the most persuasive evidence they had in 3 ½ weeks of trial and their short deliberation supports it.”
— Defense Attorney, after speaking with jurors following a Defense Verdict
“As a lawyer in…who has retained Toby let me tell you this, he is the BEST OF THE BEST in the business. Highest qualified. Most thorough. Best testifier. Incredibly “normal” on the stand and in person. And super likable to a jury. I remain the biggest fan of this man and his company! Truly second to no one I’ve ever seen in this business in my 33 years trying cases.”
— Plaintiff Attorney
"..Erik is really an excellent engineer and a very fine expert witness."
