I'm happy to provide references upon request. Here are several recent testimonials involving my work as an expert witness:

"I would like to thank you for the wonderful expert testimony you provided on our software/website case resulting in a $3,056,000 verdict for our client... You provided crucial questions to be asked of defendants and their experts that made a big difference at the time of trial. Above all, time and time again you were able to clarify and explain technical issues for me that prepared me well for trial."
-- Paul, California attorney

"Mr. Frankovitz is a top IT professional. I was impressed how quickly he came to understand the rather complicated situation my client was facing. His testimony at trial was clear and concise and, as indicated by the jury post-verdict, he connected with them very well. I would definitely use him again in my next case."
-- Yosef Peretz, Peretz & Associates

"We thought you were very effective... one of the tech jurors I told you about was aloof for most of the witnesses, but he really picked up when you were testifying and actually looked at you. Normally he just stares into space... you were well prepared before taking the stand. We would definitely use you and Quandary Peak Research again for tech matters."
-- John, California Attorney

"I wanted to send you a note about the excellent service my client received from Mr. Frankovitz. In an incredibly short period of time he synthesized, digested and responded to the computer program issues that were at the heart of the lawsuit. His work was thorough, well written and insightful. I believe that his contribution to our brief was a significant factor in our ability to obtain a successful settlement of our case. I will not hesitate to retain your company again when the need arises."
-- Richard, California attorney

"We have been amazed with Jason’s expertise, skills, demeanor, and service on this case so far. You are fortunate to have him on your staff."
