As a Mechanic and Automotive Expert my experience extends past the just shop floor. I have held many positions within the industry such as a shop foreman, warranty administrator and purchasing manager. My dedication to excellence is matched by my extensive credentials, including ASE Master Certification in Automotive and Medium / HD Trucks. My expertise spans engine performance, electrical systems, driveline components, brakes, steering, and suspension, as well as safety-related systems.
With over 25 years years of experience in both automotive and the commercial vehicle industries I bring a deep understanding of repair standards, inspection regulations and sale procedures. This is exceptionally helpful in cases such as Lemon Law, Breach of Warranty and Repair Fraud as well as other litigations such as divorce, bankruptcies and business disputes. I have provided testimony for both Plaintiffs and Defendants with reports, deposition and trial testimony in State and Federal Courts.
The Commercial Vehicle Industry is different than the automobile industry. Inspection regulations, licensing and repair procedures set the Commercial Truck Industry aside. From engine and transmission repairs, brake failures, body and cab leaks, frame failures and more. Today's commercial trucks are complicated machines with optional safety systems similar to cars. You need an commercial truck expert who can understand your case and can make it make sense to a jury.
Passenger Buses are repaired and fall under different inspection criteria than other commercial trucks. Special attention to grab bars, brake systems, emergency exits and stairs are all part of Passenger Bus inspections. With the ever increasing "party bus" industry and companies cutting corners on maintenance it is crucial to hire an expert that fully understands the regulations behind these vehicles. You need an expert who knows these requirements and can consult with you throughout the litigation process.
Student and School Bus Transportation is the most criticized and most regulated of all passenger and commercial vehicles on the road today. School buses require special licensing requirements, continuing education hours, child check and camera systems, stop arms, stop signs, 8-way warning lights, redundant systems. I have multiple years of repair and administration experience in both passenger buses as well as school buses ready to go to work for your case.
Some cases require the ability and knowledge of discovering why an engine or transmission failed. You need a mechanical breakdown expert to assist in your case to determine root cause of failure and an expert that can help a jury and judge understand where things went wrong.
Today's modern automobiles are sophisticated and computer controlled machines. Having an expert who understands how these automobiles communicate, operate and the proper repair procedures is crucial to any automobile case. Was it operator abuse? Was it a design defect? Was it just a simple failure? I can help you determine such.
Recreational Vehicles (RVs) which include motorhomes, travel trailers, 5th wheels, and even toy haulers require special knowledge of all the different electrical systems, plumbing, appliances and mechanicals of the chassis of these vehicles. Hire an expert who is certified and knowledgeable on all these aspects to ensure your case has the power it needs.
