Expert Witness Services and Litigation Support

"In one case, Dr. Tartaglia performed a detailed failure analysis that helped me favorably settle a long-running case. In another, he reviewed a manufacturer’s report on their examination of a failed device and provided me an analysis that led to a successful settlement.

"Whenever I speak with an attorney who needs someone with John's expertise, I give them his name. I would highly recommend him and Stork Climax Research Laboratories."

Attorney L. Palmer Foret, L. Palmer Foret, P.C., Washington DC
