Expert Witness Testimonial :

“From initial contact to the conclusion of our case, Professor Kumar was always quick to respond to email correspondence and he also took the time to discuss key aspects of his evidence over the phone which was extremely helpful. His report was clear, well considered and thorough. Professor Kumar is professional and friendly which made him a pleasure to work with and I would not hesitate to instruct him again or recommend him to my colleagues.”
