John Tarpey is straightforward, robust, likeable (generally and in the presentation of his evidence) and very knowledgeable about his subject.
Mike Prime’s presentation on paper, in conferences and from the witness box was excellent on what is a very difficult and sad case. My client’s family particularly wished to express their gratitude. They found that he made “more sense than the prosecution expert”.

Have used you before and always found you efficient and easy to deal with.
Alan Henderson was absolutely fantastic.
Alan Henderson is a leading expert in his field and I have used him for a number of serious cases over the years.
We have worked with you for a number of years and find your work accurate and reliable.
I prefer your company because you are relatively local and approachable.

Very good.
Your firm remains my first choice for collision expert reports.

Mr Prime was able to provide assistance with matters as they arose, which was invaluable.
Impressed with all aspects – knowledge, presentation, lines of communication.
Mark Henderson was always available to discuss the case.
We did a generic Google trawl and ‘short-listed’ you because of your experience/credentials but (having contacted others) selected you because you were efficient, quick off the mark and personable.
Extremely quick and efficient.
I was impressed by the time and detail taken in producing the proposal of (cell site analysis) work which made it really easy to understand how the service was going to help us.

Used you many times previously and the service is always exceptional.
Many years ago, when working for another firm, we regularly consulted yourselves and always received an outstanding service. It’s good to find that after probably 25+ years, your standards have not slipped.
Excellent expertise, helpful service and quick turnaround.
Always very quick, but also thorough and well written. Always very professional.
Based on many previous instructions to assist with our cases, the reports produced by your Experts are always helpful.
Mr Tarpey was very helpful and approachable; he made a complex matter very simple for the jury.
We have been extremely impressed with your work throughout the entire course of the proceedings.
Quick, accurate and easy to speak to expert instructed (Mr Tarpey).
Thank you for writing the report so quickly. Very helpful.
Thank you so much for your impeccable service.
Mr Cook’s evidence was clear and concise and did not waiver under cross-examination. His efforts in this case are greatly appreciated.
It is about professionalism, efficiency, attention to detail, courtesy and kindness. It is a very, very long time since I have dealt with any group that was as quick to respond and as efficient as you all were.
Always our first choice due to the assistance given.
Ultimately, the mere fact that we had instructed yourselves as experts and the difficulties the police had … in my view went some way towards convincing the CPS that they needed to review the case and ultimately discontinue it.
I was very grateful to your Mike Prime for assistance he gave me on a case recently when he went out of his way to assist, despite the fact a trial was imminent and it became clear I would not have the chance to formally instruct at that point. I thought that was very impressive.
Clarity of communications.
Mr Cook completed the report very quickly and to a high standard, despite the very short timeframe in which he was given.
We are very grateful to Mr Prime. He made himself available at short notice and was contactable over the phone beforehand in order to clarify/confirm certain aspects of the case.
Mr Tarpey was very knowledgeable about this subject and explained well.
Thank you very, very much - impeccable service as per usual.
Report prepared well and is a format we could understand. Written in a way that the lay person can understand.
We were kept continually up to date about the progress of the report.
We’ve had years of excellent service from you.
KBC’s efficiency never ceases to amaze me!
Mr Prime attended punctually on each day of this case. He possesses a very approachable and helpful attitude.
Very quick, very clear report. Excellent service at all times.
Very thorough report.
You provide a good service and work within the constraints of the LAA funding.
I have previously attended a demonstration of the techniques used by the experts at Keith Borer Consultants. What they can achieve is genuinely astonishing. I require my instructing solicitor to immediately contact Keith Borer Consultants and seek out their assistance.
We have used you many times before and have never been anything but entirely satisfied. We will continue to do so.
The website had all the key words that I was looking to see for an expert in the area of interest.
Adrian Armstrong was excellent both in terms of the quality of his report and his general approach.
Amazing!
I instructed Mr Armstrong on a recommendation from another counsel and will certainly recommend him to my colleagues in future.
We are especially impressed by the Expert's willingness to discuss a case over the telephone before a formal instruction and the fast turnaround for completion of reports.
Quick, knowledgeable and easy to deal with.
Highly professional service; exceeded a very tight deadline.
John Tarpey's expert report was full and allowed me to present the material to the court effectively and allowed me, with his assistance, to effectively challenge the prosecution expert's assertions.
Excellent communication, timescales met despite difficulties with police & CPS.
We compared you with another less costly service, but considered you to be more professional.
No improvement needed.
Mr Armstrong delivered clear and cogent evident and was an impressive witness.
Compassionate and professional attitude.
Good quality work.
Exceptionally quick turnaround time.

Very quick response to both our initial email enquiry and all emails. Helpful and approachable staff and experts.
Instant reply on whether they can help or not; excellent with keeping us updated; fantastic report.
Richard Brown was excellent and his professional manner/quality of evidence won the day for us - compared with the prosecution expert! Quality counts!
As always, your firm goes out of its way to assist. Together with the high standards of reports, it is why I have used your firm since the 1980’s.
Very impressive and thoroughly excellent performance in the witness box.
Exceptional service.
Excellent reputation.
