What they say

"Trevor Gilbert is an independent witness of the highest calibre, unmoveable when his opinion has been properly formed, persuadable when logic dictates, well researched and impressive". Queen's Counsel

"Following your visit yesterday, I just wanted to say thank you for being so understanding. I have to add that you are the first expert witness who has shown empathy and not reduced (my daughter) to an emotional wreck and it was a positive experience for her. This will hopefully help her with further appointments with expert witnesses". Claimant's mother

"....... one of the most highly regarded personal injury expert witnesses in the UK today".  Queen's Counsel

"Your approach has always been backed by pragmatism often not present in other experts". Claimant lawyer

"Employment experts are often rightly disliked by the courts, for they usually provide 2nd hand and 2nd rate material, but Mr Gilbert has made me completely change my views about them.  In a case of significant value Mr Gilbert provided me with a report in a couple of weeks that would have put most other experts I have used to shame.  This was original research from beginning to end.  What is more he went on to deal with endless amendments with a turnaround of hours and in good humour". Defendant lawyer

"I would like to say that I have every faith in your professionalism as indeed do the senior counsel that I instruct who always breathe a sigh of relief when they see a report from you.  Counsel at our recent con was highly complimentary and said so to my Client and was not so about the report of Mr X  !  Equally my client was not impressed by him but was so by you". Claimant lawyer

"You're a star !".  Queen's Counsel

"Thank you very much for the vast amounts of work that you put into this matter and for your detailed and comprehensive report, and for your extensive work on the joint report.  I know you experienced extraordinary difficulty with the other expert who did not seem to appreciate the nature of his role but your perseverance made it possible to settle this claim". Claimant lawyer. 

I have always found the reports of both Mr Gilbert and his firm generally to be comprehensive and well balanced.  I have also been impressed by Mr Gilbert's willingness to embrace changes in personal injury litigation and to present new ideas to deal with this change". Defendant lawyer.

"Nice one, Trev". Claimant's Dad at conclusion of interview.

"We have now instructed you in a number of very substantial cases where lost earnings have been claimed in very specialist areas of employment, particularly in the City of London.  In each case my clients had found extreme difficulty in gaining access to the true position in relation to earnings in these fields.

It was in this area that your help proved invaluable.  I have been impressed by your ability to penetrate the fog that seems to surround such areas and to produce hard evidence to demonstrate the true position.  You clearly have a large network of contacts and my experience shows that you have substantial ability to use those contacts in your clients interest".   Queen's Counsel

"You really are Mr Employment Expert.....a household name in legal circles". Counsel

"I was just writing to say that I had cause to read your report again in the context of Counsel’s future Loss Schedule and all I can say is that it hit me again how good the report actually is and how much thought and detail you have put into the information provided. It really is an excellent example of an Employment Expert’s report and I am more than grateful to you". Claimant lawyer

"Once again, I must reiterate that having seen your report, I thought it was excellent and of a much higher standard than others I have seen and it is clear to me that you would be perfect for my case". Defendant lawyer

"May we on behalf of ourselves and our Client thank you for the tremendous work that you have done in respect of this case to date not only in the standard of the reporting but of your co-operation and perseverance throughout". Claimant lawyer.

"I am writing on behalf of my husband and myself following your visit to our home to interview him regarding his claim following his accident. 

I cannot sufficiently put into words how grateful we were for your understanding of the case and more importantly how you conducted the interview.  As you know, I am in HR myself and I can say without hesitation that your approach, empathy and full explanation of the reason why you were there more than met our expectations.

Your interviewing technique was something I had not come across before, but then we have never been in this position either, and personally speaking I am full of admiration and will add some to my own repertoire ! More importantly you were able to elicit detailed information under very difficult circumstances that provided you with a complete picture of my husband's own circumstances.

As you became aware throughout the interview, this has been very difficult for me and has placed our marriage under great strain and I found it really beneficial to have the opportunity to unburden to a good listener. Neither of us has ever had a clear explanation of the process in which we find ourselves, not even from our solicitors, so I am grateful for that, too.

Thank you once again and I am happy that whatever the outcome at least there will be a clear understanding of my husband's circumstances and how he feels and what it has done to us". Claimant's wife.

"I have always been impressed by your ability to think outside the box". Claimant lawyer

"Your report was absolutely brilliant, thoroughly researched and cogently argued". Defendant lawyer.

"It was interesting to note that (the defendants) acknowledged the Claimant's role was not that of a database manager contrary to their expert's opionion and advice !  May I take this opportunity of thanking you for your support and advice throughout which was invaluable in relation to his loss of earnings and your complete understanding of his employment role".  Claimant lawyer.

Counsel's comment upon Trevor's release from the witness box: "That was a stunning performance, if all the experts in our team had performed to the same standard this case could have been sorted weeks ago".  

Even when work was declined for good reason....

"Yes, we appreciated your honesty. However, we did feel that you would have done a better job than the person who we eventually used so next time we will ignore you and instruct you anyway ! "
