Both Dr. Rasty & Travis were invaluable in helping us reach a favorable resolution for our client. Dr. Rasty’s expertise and professionalism in the courtroom was instrumental in the defendant’s decision to increase their settlement offer prior to trial. It was clear throughout this project that Travis provides an invaluable service to Dr. Rasty and RWFE. His knowledge of both engineering and the law was apparent in written reports and in the preparation of Dr. Rasty for deposition and hearings.
