Testimonials
“Both Dr. Rasty & Travis were invaluable in helping us reach a favorable resolution for our client. Dr. Rasty’s expertise and professionalism in the courtroom was instrumental in the defendant’s decision to increase their settlement offer prior to trial. It was clear throughout this project that Travis provides an invaluable service to Dr. Rasty and RWFE. His knowledge of both engineering and the law was apparent in written reports and in the preparation of Dr. Rasty for deposition and hearings.”

“Dr. Rasty’s graduate Forensic Engineering course brought new insight and valuable knowledge into my limited world of both forensics and engineering. Dr. Rasty did an excellent job teaching difficult material to students who did not have any previous training in engineering and he gave actual life applications that can be done with this knowledge. Part of the course pertained to hands-on projects where we were given the task to determine the root cause of catastrophic failure of certain materials. I enjoyed the class as a whole but this part of the course allowed us to process what we were learning and then apply it to real life scenarios. This course has enabled me to observe certain materials with a knowledgeable insight into its composition and possible reason(s) for failure.”

“Professor Rasty was the most effective expert witness I have ever worked with. A highly experienced opposing counsel attempted to surprise Professor Rasty by asking him to recreate by hand a highly complex mathematical formula, a request for which I had not prepared him. Without hesitation, Professor Rasty strode to the white-board and wrote the entire formula—mathematical symbols and all—from memory. Instant credibility with the factfinder.”
