Testimonials
From Attorneys:
"I have used Tim as a valuation/damages expert in half a dozen commercial cases during the last 15 years. All of these cases were significant matters involving potentially 7 figure damage awards and in each case Tim provided me with well-reasoned and timely analysis that supported my client's position. As an expert, Tim combines his expertise as a certified public accountant with the acumen he has acquired as a business man and is therefore highly credible both during depositions and at trial. Tim makes me a better advocate and is my 'go to guy' in big cases with complex valuation/damage issues."

"Tim Colombe is one of the best forensic experts I have worked with in my 35 years as a trial lawyer in business litigation cases. He is extremely talented, personable, insightful, thorough, smart and prepared."

"In more than 25 years of practice as a transactional attorney, I have worked with many valuation professionals. I often times find that valuation firms simply plug historical numbers into the model and crank out a valuation without sufficient analysis of the subject firm. Tim is extremely bright, detail oriented and has a strong interest in understanding the nuances of a client's business. As a result, he produces a markedly better product for his clients. Moreover, in addition to the valuation numbers itself, clients typically obtain an improved understanding of their own business as the result of Tim's analysis. Tim's analytical skills, coupled with his "deal" experience, and skill in interacting with bankers, lawyers, CFOs and others make him a valued and frequent teammate of mine.”
