Extremely quick and efficient.
Mr Cook’s evidence was clear and concise and did not waiver under cross-examination. His efforts in this case are greatly appreciated.
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.
Alan Henderson is always contactable, his work is always impeccable and juries have always liked him.
Mr Cook completed the report very quickly and to a high standard, despite the very short timeframe in which he was given.
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.
Always reliable; thorough reports.
Mr Farley was exceptionally good in the witness box and very robust under cross examination. I would not hesitate to instruct him again.
Outstanding. Mr Prime was conscious of duty but compelling in his approach to the evidence.
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.

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.

Amazing!
Well established reputation for forensic work.
You provide a good service and work within the constraints of the LAA funding.
Responded efficiently with clear advice.
We compared you with another less costly service, but considered you to be more professional.
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.
Efficient and very responsive.
Clear communication, very good advice, good quality of forensic report.
Excellent service from Alan Henderson and his report assisted me in cross examining the Crown witness.

Brilliant job and response to late and urgent instructions – very much above and beyond what we would expect.
Mr Tarpey was very knowledgeable about this subject and explained well.
Your firm remains my first choice for collision expert reports.
Alan Henderson was excellent. Very knowledgeable on this area of law. Provided an excellent report, with speed.
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.
We have used KBC for our forensic requirements for many years. The service has always been excellent, timely and useful.
Would use the service again with no hesitation.
Please thank Richard Brown very much for the rapid turn round of this report.

Impressed with all aspects – knowledge, presentation, lines of communication.
Alan Henderson is a leading expert in his field and I have used him for a number of serious cases over the years.
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.
Your service was exemplary.
I don't know what you are paying Alan Henderson, but I'd say it isn't enough.
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.
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.
That is a very good statement; please thank Ms Kiernan for me.
We have been using your services for a number of years and have always been very happy with the service provided.
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”.
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.
Both our client and I were very impressed by your expert evidence. I will be singing your praises for years to come.
Gave a very knowledgeable and detailed account which no doubt assisted in securing the successful appeal.
Instant reply on whether they can help or not; excellent with keeping us updated; fantastic report.
Easy to find on Google and seemed like decent, legitimate company at decent price.
You are considered the ‘go to’ expert service within our firm.
Excellent communication, timescales met despite difficulties with police & CPS.
Very good.
Mr Bunter was fantastic.
Extremely prompt service.
Very good, in fact excellent!
Thank you so much for your impeccable service.
Clarity of communications.
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, succinct, communicative and pleasant to deal with.
Service had a quick turnaround and any queries were quickly addressed.
Richard Brown was excellent and his professional manner/quality of evidence won the day for us - compared with the prosecution expert! Quality counts!
After the initial phone call, I knew I had contacted the right organisation. The report just reaffirmed what I already knew.
Speed, efficiency and accuracy.
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.
I cannot speak more highly of the quality of the report. Mr Prime is now my ‘go to’ expert.
Always a good service.
We would be extremely grateful if you could thank Ms Gray again for her incredible report.
Comprehensive and comprehendible expert’s report; first class response to queries.
We have used you many times before and have never been anything but entirely satisfied. We will continue to do so.
Have used you before and always found you efficient and easy to deal with.
Have used Keith Borer in the past for many different types of reports and would do so again.
John Tarpey is straightforward, robust, likeable (generally and in the presentation of his evidence) and very knowledgeable about his subject.
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.
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.
Easy to read report.
Quick, efficient and professional.
Extremely efficient.
Mr Armstrong was very professional and presented his analysis to the Jury in a very helpful way.
John Tarpey's evidence was critical to the success of this case.
Thank you very much, again, for the professionalism of your expert witnesses.
Quality service, helpful staff, prompt reports. Our company has used Keith Borer Consultants for many years.
KBC’s efficiency never ceases to amaze me!
Competitive price – within LAA Standards; approachable, polite staff and great 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.
Very prompt professional service.
Exceptional service.
We were kept continually up to date about the progress of the report.
Quick telephone answering, excellent understanding of the issues facing us i.e. prior authority, court dates changing at last moment, need for rapid responses.
Quick, knowledgeable and easy to deal with.
Julian Dunnill’s professionalism is very, very good. His knowledge is without parallel.
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.
Mr Prime attended punctually on each day of this case. He possesses a very approachable and helpful attitude.
We have been extremely impressed with your work throughout the entire course of the proceedings.
I am really grateful for your assistance in this case; I am sure it made the pivotal difference.
Good quality work.
Expert always contactable and very helpful (Alan Henderson).
As always, I am entirely satisfied by the services provided by your company. These are provided to the highest level.
The service was both timely and accurate - exactly what was required in a developing trial.
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.
Speedy, efficient and professional as always!
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.
Prompt and efficient handling of initial enquiries and arrangements to inspect Prosecution exhibits.
We find you reliable and expeditious.
Great report - it really shows off your skills compared to the prosecution (so-called) experts. Thanks so much.
We were impressed by the quality of the report and competitive cost.
Our services operate to a quality system that is independently assessed and certified to ISO 9001.
