What Our Clients Are Saying About Us
Bruce
“I have been practicing personal injury and insurance litigation for over 16 years and a major part of my practice involves representing property and casualty insurers in their disputes with third parties, other insurers and their insureds. In the course of my practice, I have had occasion to work with J.P. Strasler in his capacity as an accountant with an expertise in Forensic Accounting. I have known Mr. Strasler for over 10 years and I have always found his work to be timely and of the highest quality.
I can say without reservation that Mr. Strasler has approached the files that he has been assigned with diligence and professionalism and his goal has always been to provide a balanced and fair analysis of the problem before arriving at a conclusion. I have had the opportunity to use Mr. Strasler’ s services as a professional witness during Arbitration proceedings and I found his presentation to be excellent.
Therefore, I would have no hesitation in recommending Mr. Strasler to any insurer or any organization that requires a capable, fair and professional approach to any file that may require an expert in Forensic Accounting”
