Louisiana Trial Lawyers Association
P.O. Box 4289
Baton Rouge, LA 70821
Re: CDC No: 2003-12821, Div. "M"(7)
Dear Leah:
"I recently successfully concluded the above titled
and numbered case.
I had the occasion to retain and use a highly credentialed
expert ... Sal Fariello.
Mr. Fariello's reputation is
impeccable. He selects cases from both the plaintiff
and defense bar. He is a
certified accident reconstructionist and bio-mechanist.
I would recommend him
highly to members of the Louisiana
Trial Lawyers Association."
Yours very truly,

defense work we
have done:
People of State of Michigan v. P. Nickel,
Case No. 03-32971-FH
Circuit Court, Monroe County
Judge: Hon. Michael LaBeau
"Sal
Fariello was absolutely instrumental in the recent acquittal of my
client on
four capital charges related to an OUIL (DUI) accident
causing death. Mr. Fariello's
expertise in Accident Reconstruction,
Bodily Injury Biomechanics and Human
Factors carried the day in an
otherwise unwinnable and tremendously complex
physical evidence case.
I can unequivocally recommend him to my fellow
counsel."

Here's an example of
how we have helped
lawyers get other "experts" disqualified relying in
part on Wilson v. Woods,
163 F.3d 935:
Sullivan
v. Austin
Docket #SSX-L-462-98
Superior Court, Sussex County, New Jersey
Judge: Hon. Karen Russell
Dear
Mr. Fariello
"As a result of your guidance and suggestions I was able to bar the
defendant's licensed professional engineer from testifying about
accident
reconstruction. As a result of that ruling, the defense also
withdrew their
second expert, who was a mechanical engineer.
As a result of the defense's lack of ability to call any experts,
and the fact
that the jury was persuaded by your testimony, a substantial
verdict was
returned on behalf of the plaintiff. It never would have
happened without your
diligence, enthusiasm and great help."

Here's what some lawyers
have said about
our business ethics and how we save them
time and money:
Dear
Mr. Fariello:
"This
is an unusual letter -- a thank you note for not helping me. When
I called last week regarding the Kor_ _ _ _ case I had hoped you could
help with a theory of liability because a serious injury was involved. There
were significant damages. You carefully looked through the evidence,
talked me through your opinions, but told me I did not have a case I could
win for my clients. I was very disappointed at first.
I
was expecting Mrs.
Kor_ _ _ _ to take the news with great despair when
I met with her to tell her why I was not going to take the case. Instead, she
said she was relieved. Her son's injuries were not the fault of someone else.
It was his own mistake in judgment. She told me: "This is something we can
live
with easier than if we knew he got hurt because of someone's else's
carelessness."
She knows you looked at the evidence closely and she is appreciative of your
straight forward assessment. She and I both also greatly appreciate your
minimal charge to review the materials we sent you.
So
really, you did help me -- we were able to take a serious look at the case
for which the family was grateful, and I was able to say NO to a case that would
have taken me two years to litigate at great expense when we did not
have a meritorious claim.
I
really appreciate your input in these matters Sal."

"Sal Fariello is the kind of
expert that will make you appreciate him
early on in a case. His insight can not
only solidify your case, it can
save your firm from making unnecessary
expenditures. I was truly
impressed in a recent [airbag] case where Sal was
willing to drive over
400 miles to visit our sick client so he could make the
extra measurements
he needed to seal his position. He is a straight shooter who
truly cares about
the people and the clients he works with. I look forward to
working
with him again."

How Sal Fariello has
been able to help lawyers handle
complex litigation for a fraction of the cost they normally
expect to pay and still achieve exceptional success in
plaintiff and defense cases. Also, find out how he can
help you avoid litigating cases that have a low
probability of success.
Before we accept a case
assignment, Sal Fariello
reviews it with you by telephone free of charge to
ascertain if there are any major insurmountable issues.
Many cases will be rejected on the basis of the first
telephone interview and there is no fee in most instances.
You will be given the reasons why Sal deems the case
unlikely to succeed based on accident reconstruction
and/or biomechanics or other factors.
In some cases, Sal
cannot make a determination by
telephone consultation alone. In this instance there is a
small fee to review medical records, police reports,
depositions, photos, etc. The preliminary assessment fee
is usually somewhere between $600 and $900. Some
cases may be less, and occasionally a complex case might
cost a bit more for a preliminary review. Sal has access to
many additional consultants who are associated with
Eastern Forensic Science Group. These associates are
experts in medicine, human factors and many other
specialties. If the preliminary assessment indicates that
additional forensic work will be a waste of time and money,
the case will be rejected. If Sal turns down a case for
further forensic work it is generally because a thorough
multi-disciplinary review has identified too many weaknesses
in the case to justify additional expenditure of a client's money.
If the preliminary
review indicates that the case lends itself
to full forensic intervention, a fixed fee quote for additional
forensic services will be provided to the client.
There are very few cases in which we are unable to
provide a fixed fee contract instead of hourly billing.
Sal Fariello has so much experience with rollover cases,
seatbelt and airbag cases, highway defect, pedestrian,
and intersection crash cases, etc., that he can estimate
what it will cost to analyze the incident and prepare a
report based on a fixed fee quote. Nobody would have
a house built without knowing in advance what the
construction work will cost. The same logic applies to
accident forensic work. A lawyer needs to know what
the cost exposure is for an analysis and report
before hiring an expert.
Using the aforementioned
approach, Sal Fariello has been
exceptionally successful in working for plaintiff and defense
attorneys. He saves them a lot of time and money they
would otherwise waste pursuing hopeless theories of liability.
He ensures that the cost of experts is controllable and
predictable by offering fixed fee contracts in most cases.
Because of his vast
experience, Sal can analyze even
the most complex cases for as much as 75% less than
lawyers assumed they would have to pay for expert services.
This cost containment strategy is not something Sal devised
because of the recent decline in the economy. He has been doing
business this way for many years, as indicated by the testimonials
your read earlier on this page. There are lots more lawyer
testimonials posted on the references page.
Please call for any
further information you may require
as to how we can help you control the costs of litigating
the cases that are of concern to you.
