Gilbert Coleman, Ph.D., Economic Consulting, Inc. provides top quality litigation support for a wide variety of types of cases including anti-trust, contract disputes, business valuation, lost profits, lost earnings, evaluation of assets, discrimination, and many others. Our approach is always to provide economic analysis based on data so that our opinions always stand on firm ground. We then concentrate on finding the most clear and understandable way of presenting the results to the jury. We have provided support and testimony all over Nevada and California in both state and federal courts. We have worked with the States of California and Nevada, Washoe County, Nevada Bell, Atlantic Richfield, Sierra Pacific Power, Harvey's, and the AFL-CIO to name a few. Dr. Coleman has appeared in court more than 250 times over the last decade and a half. Our guiding philosophy in litigation work is that the client needs analysis that is supported by evidence and fact. We believe that there can be no room for error during testimony and that is guaranteed by thorough preparation and attention to the collect and analysis of all relevant information. We work with the attorneys and their clients to insure this and, by keeping the attorney informed of our goals for the analysis and our progress, that our analysis is consistent with the way the case is being argued. We strongly believe that the best economic analysis in litigation is useless if a jury cannot understand what is being explained to it. Our approach to testimony is to bring the jury into our thinking and approach to the issues of the case on their terms, not ours. To help them to understand in clear and convincing language and by an open and accessible presentation the results of our economic investigation. We make extensive use of graphical presentation and try to present our testimony in a teaching style. Our success with this method over many years demonstrates the value of our philosophy.
