What our customer say

Thank you, Howard! This information is very helpful. We are heading to mediation…

Please be advised that this matter is settled……Thank you very much for your assistance and guidance in this case. Your input was essential in our ability to settle this case in a satisfactory manner.

Thanks again for your prompt response….Owen and I are very satisfied with the thoroughness of your report and the innovative way you illustrated the trees’ location by Google, schematic and photo. We will forward this to the appropriate people to make sure they note the tree roots in a visual way while excavating.

The report is exactly what the Board requires to manage the common land trees in our neighborhood. Thanks for the nice job.

Thank you for your thorough evaluation of my neighbor’s tree….I apologize if you were met with hostility. Others have left the property threatened by law suits. I appreciate your expertise and perseverance.

Thank you very much for your appraisal. I thought you did an excellent job. Both you and John were most kind and professional. I would recommend both of you highly.

Thank you, you did a great job. Please have lunch with your worker on me for having to deal with my upset neighbor. You handled it great and I appreciate that.

It was a pleasure meeting you recently when we reached out to you for inspection and analysis of claimed tree damage, its cause and estimated cost to cure. Your report was very helpful to us in resolving the claim. We and our client appreciate your efforts and quick response. We certainly will call upon you again if we have other cases that require your expertise and possible testimony.

1st of all, thank you for your problems solving and shirt-sleeves-rolled up approach on the town tree.

I just wanted to thank you again for your time and thoughtfulness throughout your deposition today.

I’m compelled to express appreciation for the “Expert Witness” article, March, 2015. Mr. Gaffin has not only written an extremely helpful account–especially the bullet points on court room pointers–but also he has written.  If he ever needs a second profession, he has one, hands down.

Thank you so much for your help. The report is amazing, so comprehensive. I am sure it will be really helpful.
