Very impressive and thoroughly excellent performance in the witness box.
Excellent service from Alan Henderson and his report assisted me in cross examining the Crown witness.
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.
Thank you very, very much - impeccable service as per usual.
We’ve had years of excellent service from you.
Cost effective, reliable and professional.
What is particularly helpful is the opening of other avenues of enquiry which hadn't been previously considered.
Helpfully swift responses – in respect of both fee estimates and reports.
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.
I cannot speak more highly of the quality of the report. Mr Prime is now my ‘go to’ expert.
Highly professional service; exceeded a very tight deadline.
May we thank Mrs Allan for an excellent report.
We have used you many times before and have never been anything but entirely satisfied. We will continue to do so.
Quick, efficient, approachable expert (Mr Fagan), with excellent communication skills.
John Tarpey's evidence was critical to the success of this case.
Excellent reputation.
Clear information about cost, speed and efficiency of report.

Please thank Sarah Morley for her sterling work.

Alan Henderson is a leading expert in his field and I have used him for a number of serious cases over the years.
Outstanding. Mr Prime was conscious of duty but compelling in his approach to the evidence.
Your service was exemplary.
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.
I don't know what you are paying Alan Henderson, but I'd say it isn't enough.
Always our first choice due to the assistance given.
We were impressed by the quality of the report and competitive cost.
Used KBC for years; always found you efficient and helpful.
Compassionate and professional attitude.
Report prepared well and is a format we could understand. Written in a way that the lay person can understand.
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.
Friendliness and complete empathy in what was a very stressful situation for me.
No improvement needed.
Based on many previous instructions to assist with our cases, the reports produced by your Experts are always helpful.
Efficient and very responsive.
Quality service, helpful staff, prompt reports. Our company has used Keith Borer Consultants for many years.
Good quality work.
Instant reply on whether they can help or not; excellent with keeping us updated; fantastic report.
The attention to detail in Mr Tarpey’s preparation and his knowledge of the case shone through when he was cross-examined.
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.
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.
Quick response to our request; friendly members of staff.
Thank you very much, again, for the professionalism of your expert witnesses.
The expert witness was easily contactable and diligent in his work.
John Tarpey is straightforward, robust, likeable (generally and in the presentation of his evidence) and very knowledgeable about his subject.
Very quick response to both our initial email enquiry and all emails. Helpful and approachable staff and experts.
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.
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.
Thank you for writing the report so quickly. Very helpful.

Well established reputation for forensic work.
Communication overall was excellent.

Prompt and efficient communication, met the deadline, carried out the instructions.
Very quick, very clear report. Excellent service at all times.

We were kept continually up to date about the progress of the report.

KBC’s efficiency never ceases to amaze me!
After the initial phone call, I knew I had contacted the right organisation. The report just reaffirmed what I already knew.
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.

Responded efficiently with clear advice.
Report was delivered on time as promised.
Adrian Armstrong is an excellent witness who easily out-shone the police expert.
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.
Mr Prime was very fair and provided assistance beyond the report.
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.
Used you many times previously and the service is always exceptional.
Able to act fast and produce good reports for the court.
Brilliant job and response to late and urgent instructions – very much above and beyond what we would expect.
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”.
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.
Mr Armstrong delivered clear and cogent evident and was an impressive witness.

Very good.
Julian Dunnill’s professionalism is very, very good. His knowledge is without parallel.
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.
Richard Brown is an excellent expert witness.
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.
Mr Prime was able to provide assistance with matters as they arose, which was invaluable.
Alan Henderson was absolutely fantastic.
Mr Cook’s report was easy to follow for those who are not experts in this field and explained the method and conclusion fully.
Impressed with all aspects – knowledge, presentation, lines of communication.
Great report - it really shows off your skills compared to the prosecution (so-called) experts. Thanks so much.
The service we have received is 5* and very much appreciated.
Mr Cook completed the report very quickly and to a high standard, despite the very short timeframe in which he was given.
You have always been excellent.
