Here's an example of a cervical & lumbar
injury case:

Ms. Leah Guerry
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,

Here's an example of the criminal 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."

Warren Anderson, Esq.

"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.
