Lawrence G. McMichael, Esq.
Dilworth, Paxson, Kalish and Kauffman
Philadelphia, PA

"Hal Rosenthal, CPA served as an expert witness regarding lost profits and other damages in a business interruption case, which I tried. The case was tried as a major jury matter in Philadelphia and consumed four weeks of actual trial time. A substantial judgment was obtained for our client.

In the preparation of the case and preparation for testimony, Mr. Rosenthal was extremely efficient and insightful. His review of the plaintiff’s financial records was rigorous and he was well prepared for every meeting. During the trial, Mr. Rosenthal testified for the better part of a day. In direct testimony he presented the plaintiff’s case clearly and persuasively. His credibility was not impaired by the lengthy cross-examination of the defense. Following the trial a survey of jurors indicated that Mr. Rosenthal’s testimony was believed in its entirety and Mr. Rosenthal was well liked by the jury.

Because of this favorable experience, I would not hesitate to use Mr. Rosenthal as an expert witness in the future and similarly do not hesitate to give him an unqualified recommendation."

"Please allow me to commend to you a true professional who has assisted me in various matters involving forensic accounting and fraud investigation. I have personally worked side by side with Mr. Rosenthal for approximately two years in a matter, which has involved detangling a contrived web of fraudulent transfers and corporate schemes created to defraud my clients.

Mr. Rosenthal single-handedly detangled the web and provided multiple presentations involving visual aids, which were broken down into such simplistic detail that anyone with an elementary education, would be able to understand. Simply stated, Mr. Rosenthal has enabled me to make my presentations to the court in a logical, well reasoned and fully documented manner.

Mr. Rosenthal has always made himself fully available to me and my clients throughout the course of our relationship. Further, Mr. Rosenthal has granted many courtesies to my clients beyond any experience I have had with any other litigation support expert."

"Pursuant to out latest conversation, this letter is to inform you that the case has been settled. I can assure you unequivocally that your assistance was invaluable in helping us reach a good result. The plaintiffs' sole theory against the owner in this case was the entity issue. Your research and help regarding attacking ++++++++ was of great assistance in the negotiations of this case. Unfortunately, we were dealing with not only the plaintiff's expert, but with a plaintiff's lawyer that was not well versed in this aspect of finance. As a result, I virtually had to educate them on what the reality of the issues in this were and could not have done so without your assistance.

This letter will also confirm that I am sending an e-mail around the office informing my office mates of your availability and expertise. Again, my sincere thanks for all of your assistance."

The CFE designation is awarded to select professionals responsible for detecting, deterring, and investigating fraud.
