Testimonials

Read what some of our referral sources had to say:

“I want to thank you for your hard work on the [redacted] matter, which resolved late last week at mediation. Your work on this case put us in our best position heading into trial and facilitated the mediation.”

“We truly appreciate the work that Michele did on this case.  Her findings that Plaintiff sustained no lost wages was absolutely helpful, as Plaintiff did not even attempt to use as a negotiating tactic that she had lost wages, which is contrary to what she testified to during her deposition.  We have to believe that was because of our report.  It was great working with Michele, as we always look to her for the objective facts regarding a plaintiff’s ability to work.  We look forward to working with her in the future.”

“Ms. Corwin’s work was definitely helpful in securing a favorable resolution. In my opinion, Ms. Corwin presented a very compelling rebuttal of Plaintiffs’ life care plan, and I believe that her work and that of the rest of our expert team was critical in resetting some unreasonable expectations on the other side.”

“Please be aware that we settled [redacted] yesterday at mediation, so please discontinue any additional work on this case. Both VDI and [economist] have been invaluable in leading to this settlement, which essentially helped me successfully argue that Plaintiff’s loss of earning capacity and lost wage claim were not credible claims. I appreciate both of you.”

“This case has settled. Please pass along our thanks to Ms. Corwin. Her report was exceptional and we look forward to using her services again in another case.”

“Aubrey, on behalf of our firm, please find attached a letter advising you that the above-referenced matter has settled. We would like to thank you for all of your work on this file. We cannot share details about the resolution, but we believe your report/deposition testimony were superb and would recommend to use in the future. Thank you for all of your hard work.”

“Good evening Aubrey, [Redacted] has settled, and you may cease work. Thank you for all of your help. Your report was excellent, and your insight was invaluable. I look forward to working with you in the future.”

“The settlement was confidential so we can’t share any details about negotiations, although Ms. Corwin’s work was definitely beneficial. We were really pleased with her reports as well as how she performed in her deposition, and she was really helpful with my preparation for the opposing experts earlier this week. I had been hoping for the opportunity to work it her for quite some time, and glad we finally had the chance to do so.”

“Michele, We are writing to advise that the [redacted] matter was resolved at mediation. We greatly appreciate your excellent work on [redacted’s] behalf. We would not have achieved this result without your efforts. Thank you again for your assistance with this important case.”

“Ms. Corwin’s report was very helpful. We greatly appreciated her attention to detail and her (your office’s) documentation in writing of the phone calls with Dr. [redacted], which was signed by Dr. [redacted], which was very helpful in dealing with Motions in Limine/Motions to Exclude or Limit Expert testimony. I cannot share the details of the settlement due to confidentiality provisions. However, I can tell you my client was very pleased with the settlement.”

“Michele, you were kind enough to help us out with the [redacted] matter, we just got it settled. We got a good number and settlement and we’re very pleased with it. I just wanted to call and thank you for your help on that one and tell you, how valuable your help was in getting this resolved. So, look forward to working with you again and again, thanks so much for your help. Take care.”

“We are happy to report that the case settled yesterday at mediation. Ms. Corwin’s rebuttal report was outstanding; it helped us in attacking plaintiff’s claim for damages and bringing plaintiff’s expectations into a reasonable range. Thanks again for all of your excellent work!”

“We were able to resolve the case yesterday at mediation. Please pass along my thanks to Aubrey who did a fantastic job on her report and who gave me some additional ammunition we used yesterday during the mediation.

“The case settled on Friday at mediation. We got close to policy limits, and [redacted] is happy and relieved to to be done. Your work, as always, was a major reason we were able to get the settlement up so high.”

“It was a good settlement. The terms are confidential, but I would be happy to discuss the mediation and how that went. Frankly, your report was probably the most instrumental factor in getting this case resolved before litigation and on such good terms. Your report was so thorough and gave us all of the ammunition necessary to bring some reality to [redacted]. I am very appreciative of the great work you and your team did.”

“The terms of the settlement are confidential, so we can’t disclose much. But yes, we can say that Ms. Corwin’s work was very useful towards obtaining a successful resolution that the client was pleased with. We appreciate her taking the time to review and discuss with me last week leading into the mediation. Thank you.”

“This email is to advise you that the above-referenced matter settled at a mediation yesterday. Your input and reports were invaluable in assisting us with reaching a favorable settlement. We truly enjoyed working with you. The terms of the settlement are confidential, but I can tell you that the clients are pleased with the outcome. Your report was incredibly helpful with bringing Plaintiff’s expectations down. We look forward to working with you again.”

“The case resolved for $1,750,000. The client was very happy with the result especially given the defense arguments regarding liability and other defenses. We truly appreciate Ms. Albers and your entire teams efforts regarding this.”

“e. The Court declines to reduce Aubrey Corwin’s expert fees to the same amount as Defendant’s expert, Mr. [redacted]. Ms. Corwin prepared a life care plan, which required additional time. In addition, Ms. Corwin was at least twice as effective a witness as Mr. [redacated] (Defense Expert Witness) and demonstrated she had a higher level of preparation; therefore, she earned her fees.
4. Pursuant to C.R.S. § 13-21-101, this Judgment, inclusive of pre-judgment interest and costs, in the amount of $1,103,815.04 shall continue to accrue post-judgment interest….”

“I want to express my appreciation to Dr. [Redacted] and Ms. Corwin for your help on [redacted]’s case. We just received the Medical Commission’s decision today. The Medical Commission found that Plaintiff is entitled to Permanent Total Disability benefits. We could not have had this result without the skilled testimony of Ms. Corwin and Dr. [Redacted]. Thank you for making a positive difference in [redacted]’s life!”

“This case has settled. I wanted to thank you, Gerrie and the whole team for the fabulous work you all did on the file. I look forward to working with you in the future. Thanks again!”

“The settlement in this matter was confidential, so I cannot disclose what the Hospital settled for. However, the Hospital was very happy with the amount. They were especially pleased with the thoroughness of our damages defense, which helped us secure a reasonable settlement on behalf of the client. Thanks for your assistance on this one. We look forward to working with you again in the future.”

“The case settled in great part to Aubrey Corwin’s work. Thanks to her report, defense paid the policy limit. Both referral source and plaintiff were very happy with the case resolution.”

“We settled yesterday. Unfortunately I can’t reveal the amount. But I wanted to say how much I appreciated Ms. Corwin’s hard and good work. I will definitely be using her again in the future.”

“We can’t thank you enough for the wonderful job you did pulling [redacted Plaintiff’s] Life Care Plan, vocational and other information together to help [redacted Plaintiff]. We went through some intense negotiations but were able to reach resolution on Friday. We believe [redacted Plaintiff] will be able to live a comfortable and meaningful life.”

“This case has settled. It was a favorable settlement and our expert work on the case was very helpful in getting plaintiffs to agree to a reasonable amount.”

“This case has settled. Although the settlement amount was confidential, referral source said that plaintiff’s demand was for 2.5 mil and they settled for six figures. He said that Aubrey’s work was very beneficial in reaching this resolution. He thanked us for all our work and said that he really looks forward to working with us in the future.”

“It is official, this case has settled. Your presence at trial is no longer required. We appreciate your work on this case. Your insight and expertise were extremely helpful. We look forward to working with you on future matters.”

“This is to inform you that this matter settled at Mediation. We appreciate your assistance. FYI, due to your work, and Dr. [redacted]’s work, future damages were not even considered – great job!”

“Thanks to all of your help, we have successfully settled this matter. I am not able to tell you what it ultimately settled for, but it was substantially less than the [redacted] original settlement demand and in a range acceptable to us. All of your (expert) work from reconstructing the accident to evaluating the medical costs and wage loss were invaluable in getting the [redacted] and their attorney to the ultimate settlement number. Thank you.”

“It was a pleasure working with all of you…and hope to work with Michele as well. Again, thank you for all your hard work.”

“Hi Aubrey, I spoke with Maggie this morning and let her know we were able to settle this case at mediation yesterday for a reasonable amount in great measure thanks to your help on this case. I wanted to say thank you, again, for your consultation and work on this. Looking forward to being able to work with you again in the future!”

“We settled this case today in mediation and achieved a good settlement. Your assistance was very helpful. The mediator, by the way, described the opposing expert’s Life Care Plan (for Plaintiff) as a joke, which were our sentiments exactly. So, you can take the trial off your calendar. Thanks for your help and I look forward to working with you again in the future.”

“Plaintiff demanded $1 million, but settled for $390,000 yesterday during mediation. We found Ms. Albers’ report to be very helpful. We shared it with our economist, and he used it to give us hard numbers to refute plaintiff’s vocational expert’s report. Please share with Ms. Albers that we appreciate her work on this case.”

“Plaintiff asked for $3.45 million. We received a verdict for plaintiff in the amount of $300,000. We are pleased with the verdict!”

“Plaintiff asked for $35 million. After the jury heard and considered Ms. Corwin’s testimony, which they later commented was all based on facts, the verdict awarded to Plaintiff was $550,000. They awarded $0 for past income loss; $0 for future income loss; and $0 for past or future loss of household services. The client was thrilled with the result!”

“The case settled for $550K with {redacted} paying his policy limits and {redacted} contributing $450K. Everyone on the vocational side was extremely helpful in bringing Plaintiff down from the clouds.”

“As you will recall, the jury trial of this matter was set to begin November 26, 2018. We just reached a very favorable settlement of this case. The result here is a direct result of all of your hard work. We very much enjoyed working with you on this case, and appreciate all of your assistance. Thanks, and we look forward to working with you on the next one.”

“Thank you for all of your assistance in this case. I can’t disclose the details of the settlement, but your opinions and analysis were indeed key in bringing it to a resolution. It was a pleasure working with you folks, and I will definitely reach out as my needs demand in the future.”

“Case settled at mediation. All parties are satisfied with the settlement and Aubrey’s work was extremely beneficial. The referral source was very pleased with the work and effort put into this case.”

“Hi Aubrey – the settlement was favorable given the myriad of circumstances. Plaintiff’s final tally of past medical specials were approximately $650k. We settled for under two times meds. Thank you again for your work in this matter. Your rebuttal was no doubt very effective.”

“Case settled before mediation. They settled for 200K. The adjuster, after his, Referral Source, & Aubrey Corwin’s call, felt pretty confident to counteroffer Plaintiff’s request for $621K for future care needs. Aubrey’s work was very helpful in reaching this settlement.”

“Thanks for your great work on this case. Please also convey our gratitude to Aubrey for her good work. Thanks!”

“Referral Source called to let us know this case settled at mediation for 680k. He said it’s just a little lower than what they were hoping for but still favorable because the plaintiff was trying to wrap everything up; our work was very helpful – “could not have done it without Aubrey’s report, she laid it out in a way so everyone could understand.”

“We are both pleased and surprised to report that the {redacted} matter settled last week at a second mediation session. We thank you for assisting us in this matter. While the settlement amount is confidential, please know that it is with your help that we achieved a very favorable settlement for our clients. We enjoyed working with you in this matter and hope, if we have a chance, we can work together again.”

“I just got a call from the lawyer representing the defendants in {redacted}. On the basis of all your hard work , they’ve caved in & agreed to pay the 2m dollar policy limits!!! I’ll tell the clients personally today if possible. Just wanted to say how much this will mean to the client, we have literally saved his life , thx to all of you! Great work from all. What we do changes lives & I’m proud to work with all of you! Thank you, thank you!!”

“The most important take-away I want (Ms. Corwin) to have from this email is that the bulk of the damages awarded to our 7 year old (total of $2.1 million before costs and interest) were what YOU (Ms. Corwin) testified about. They awarded him loss of future earning capacity in the full amount of $1.3 million. This speaks volumes to the importance of your (Ms. Corwin’s) role in this case. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and from our client. What a great day it was.”
