About
An economic consulting firm in downtown Los Angeles, retained by trial counsel nationwide to quantify damages, rebut opposing experts, and testify.
What we are
Forensic Economic Services LLC is an economic consulting firm in downtown Los Angeles, retained by trial counsel to quantify economic damages, rebut opposing experts, and testify. We work in federal and state courts and in arbitration, nationwide.
We are retained by both plaintiff and defense counsel, and the method does not change with the side of the caption.
The record
Our principal has given 84 depositions and testified at 24 trials since 2017 — 108 testimony events across employment, wage-and-hour, personal injury, wrongful death, commercial matters.
Every one of those is listed case by case — dates, courts and jurisdictions — in the Rule 26 CV we send with any proposal. Ask any expert you are considering for the same thing.
The firm’s deepest single body of work is California wildfire and mass disaster litigation, including the Thomas, Woolsey and Camp fires — business destruction, displacement earnings and personal injury claims, worked both as individual matters and as claim inventories.
Who does the work
You are designating a person, not a firm. That person builds the model, signs the report and sits for the deposition. Meet the experts.
The practice combines economists and a forensic accountant, so a matter that turns on the books rather than the earnings path does not need a second firm.
