Michael Davison MBE GM
You provide a good service and work within the constraints of the LAA funding.
Both our client and I were very impressed by your expert evidence. I will be singing your praises for years to come.
That is a very good statement; please thank Ms Kiernan for me.
Extremely efficient.
We have been instructing KBC for the last 20 years or so, and they are listed as our first choice on our database. I have never had any cause for complaint and the experts have always acted with integrity and professionalism.
Great communication and updates.
Thank you for writing the report so quickly. Very helpful.
Extremely prompt service.
Richard Brown’s knowledge of the subject matter was excellent, his report clear and detailed, and his explanations … instilled confidence. I would happily use him again.
Efficient and very responsive.
Impressed with all aspects – knowledge, presentation, lines of communication.
May we thank Mrs Allan for an excellent report.
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.
Many thanks for your very helpful and professional report.
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.
Richard Brown always provides accurate and impartial advice, which makes the advocate’s job so much easier when advising clients or presenting the case in court.
Excellent service from Alan Henderson and his report assisted me in cross examining the Crown witness.
Competitive price – within LAA Standards; approachable, polite staff and great expert.
Would use the service again with no hesitation.
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.
The service was both timely and accurate - exactly what was required in a developing trial.
Mrs Allan gave extremely clear evidence.
Eager to assist at very short notice and very helpful on the phone.
Always a good service.
Quick telephone answering, excellent understanding of the issues facing us i.e. prior authority, court dates changing at last moment, need for rapid responses.
Clear communication, very good advice, good quality of forensic report.
Please thank Orla Sower for her excellent work on this case.
You are considered the ‘go to’ expert service within our firm.
Complete satisfaction with services.
Mr Brown and the work he did were excellent in every respect. We are grateful to him for his prompt and professional assistance.
Excellent communication, timescales met despite difficulties with police & CPS.
Mr Prime attended punctually on each day of this case. He possesses a very approachable and helpful attitude.
Thank you so much for your impeccable service.
I instructed Mr Armstrong on a recommendation from another counsel and will certainly recommend him to my colleagues in future.
As always, I am entirely satisfied by the services provided by your company. These are provided to the highest level.
I prefer your company because you are relatively local and approachable.
I don't know what you are paying Alan Henderson, but I'd say it isn't enough.
We’ve had years of excellent service from you.
We have been extremely impressed with your work throughout the entire course of the proceedings.
Friendliness and complete empathy in what was a very stressful situation for me.
The attention to detail in Mr Tarpey’s preparation and his knowledge of the case shone through when he was cross-examined.
We were kept continually up to date about the progress of the report.
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.
Report was delivered on time as promised.
Prompt and efficient handling of initial enquiries and arrangements to inspect Prosecution exhibits.
Have used you before and always found you efficient and easy to deal with.
Alan Henderson is a leading expert in his field and I have used him for a number of serious cases over the years.
I am really grateful for your assistance in this case; I am sure it made the pivotal difference.
Mr Prime was able to provide assistance with matters as they arose, which was invaluable.
Based on many previous instructions to assist with our cases, the reports produced by your Experts are always helpful.
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.
Prompt and reliable service.
I was delighted by Mrs Tweedy's professional and thorough approach.
Brilliant job and response to late and urgent instructions – very much above and beyond what we would expect.
We find you reliable and expeditious.
Quick response to our request; friendly members of staff.
Responded efficiently with clear advice.
Known to us as credible experts, who provide a first class service.
Have used Keith Borer in the past for many different types of reports and would do so again.
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”.
Responsive, fast turnaround, quality reports, legal aid rates.
Reliable and trustworthy.
Mr Bunter was fantastic.
Easy to read report.
Quick response, easily contactable. Never had to instruct expert for this type of report and you provided us with all the information to enable us to request the necessary consent from CPS etc. Very helpful.
Compassionate and professional attitude.
I cannot speak more highly of the quality of the report. Mr Prime is now my ‘go to’ expert.
Fiona Taylor provided quick responses to all of my questions and queries. The service was very professional throughout, from my initial enquiry to receiving the Report.
Extremely quick and efficient.
Speedy, efficient and professional as always!
We have been using your services for a number of years and have always been very happy with the service provided.
Outstanding. Mr Prime was conscious of duty but compelling in his approach to the evidence.
Good quality work.
Thanks to Sarah Morley for her help: her evidence was very important in bringing this case to justice and it is greatly appreciated.

We have used you many times before and have never been anything but entirely satisfied. We will continue to do so.
Helpful, speedy and good quality.
No improvement needed.
Please thank Richard Brown very much for the rapid turn round of this report.
Your report is fantastic and much appreciated.
Mr Farley was exceptionally good in the witness box and very robust under cross examination. I would not hesitate to instruct him again.
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 Cook’s report was easy to follow for those who are not experts in this field and explained the method and conclusion fully.

Your service was exemplary.

After the initial phone call, I knew I had contacted the right organisation. The report just reaffirmed what I already knew.
Mr Cook completed the report very quickly and to a high standard, despite the very short timeframe in which he was given.
Very quick response to both our initial email enquiry and all emails. Helpful and approachable staff and experts.
Always very quick, but also thorough and well written. Always very professional.
Richard Brown is an excellent expert witness.
You guys are simply the best.
We would be extremely grateful if you could thank Ms Gray again for her incredible report.
Alan Henderson was a very knowledgeable witness, clearly very familiar with his subject matter and capable of explaining it too. I would not hesitate to use him in the future.
Comprehensive and comprehendible expert’s report; first class response to queries.
Pleasant and efficient replies and support by all staff.
I have to thank you for all the help you have given me in preparing for this and in giving your evidence, which I think was very convincing and went a long way to this acquittal.
Mr Armstrong was very professional and presented his analysis to the Jury in a very helpful way.
The website had all the key words that I was looking to see for an expert in the area of interest.
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.
I found the quality of the report very high, and I am aware that Dr Davey had to work hard to hit the deadline because of other commitments.
The service we have received is 5* and very much appreciated.
Adrian Armstrong is an excellent witness who easily out-shone the police expert.
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.
Consistently reliable. Reports are very easy to read.
The Evidence given by Mr Dunnill resulted in the trial of issue being found in the client's favour, thereby avoiding immediate custodial sentence.
Quick, accurate and easy to speak to expert instructed (Mr Tarpey).
Prompt, succinct, communicative and pleasant to deal with.
Dr Helen Davey was, as always, excellent. From her initial report to her attendance at a conference and court. Her expertise is apparent and her ability to explain difficult issues is outstanding.

Alan Henderson was excellent. Very knowledgeable on this area of law. Provided an excellent report, with speed.
Efficient and helpful in a complex case.
The service Ryan Knight provided was excellent.
Very impressive and thoroughly excellent performance in the witness box.
Alan Henderson is always contactable, his work is always impeccable and juries have always liked him.
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.
Clear information about cost, speed and efficiency of report.
Keep doing what you do.
I was very impressed both with the clarity of Dr Davey’s report to the layperson, and her even-handedness. The objective tone of the report and the fact that the opposing party’s expert agreed with the analysis gave Dr. Davey’s evidence a huge amount of credibility. I would recommend her to anyone in need of similar evidence and have no doubt that her evidence was vital to us winning the case.
Please pass on my gratitude to Mr Marryat for being able to compile a report in such a quick turnaround. Much appreciated.
Please thank Sarah Morley for her sterling work.
Always try to instruct, if possible, due to excellent service provided.
Report prepared well and is a format we could understand. Written in a way that the lay person can understand.
Superb outcome in the case ... as a direct result of Mr Prime discussing matters with his counterpart. Very, very impressive. Good, too, with the client.
Gave a very knowledgeable and detailed account which no doubt assisted in securing the successful appeal.
We have used KBC for our forensic requirements for many years. The service has always been excellent, timely and useful.
Please pass on my thanks to Emma Youngson for the speed at which she completed the report; I am very grateful.
It is always easy to contact KBC and to get a prompt reply.
Prompt and efficient communication, met the deadline, carried out the instructions.
Fab service from your Ross Donnelly & Mark Henderson - thank you.
Very thorough report.
Very quick, very clear report. Excellent service at all times.
Thank you very, very much - impeccable service as per usual.
Very good testimony on all accounts; measured and reasonable. There is nothing I would change about Mr Dunnill’s evidence or manner in giving it.
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.
John Tarpey's evidence was critical to the success of this case.
Very prompt professional service.
Quality service, helpful staff, prompt reports. Our company has used Keith Borer Consultants for many years.
Richard Brown was excellent and his professional manner/quality of evidence won the day for us - compared with the prosecution expert! Quality counts!
We have worked with you for a number of years and find your work accurate and reliable.
Excellent reputation.
Great report - it really shows off your skills compared to the prosecution (so-called) experts. Thanks so much.
Local, efficient, competitive and quick.

Very good.

Easy to find on Google and seemed like decent, legitimate company at decent price.
I found Mr Prime to be a very good natured and competent expert witness who presented well in the witness box.

Very good, in fact excellent!
Exceptional service.

Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. This is exactly what we needed.
Speed, efficiency and accuracy.
I found the service to be very professional throughout.
The prosecutor found Dr Davey's report particularly well considered which undoubtedly informed his decision not to proceed with the case. Can I thank you very much for your help in this matter.
We have used KBC for many years: always helpful, plenty of experts & LAA seems to be happy with estimates for CRM4 application purposes.
Thank you very much, again, for the professionalism of your expert witnesses.
You have always been excellent.
Have used many times previously and always been extremely satisfied with the service and reports.
We compared you with another less costly service, but considered you to be more professional.

Amazing!
I would like to thank you both for all your help on this case, and the tasks you had to perform at short notice. Your assistance was greatly appreciated.
Reasonably priced compared to other experts.
Used you many times previously and the service is always exceptional.
Helen Davey’s report is excellent, as are all the reports that she has written for us. She is always very willing to provide advice and answer questions and is also a very nice person.
