Testimonials:
- As attorneys, we know that our cases can be won or lost based on expert testimony. In 2015, I hired Jon Haveman, PhD to testify in a complex wage and hour case. The trial was far enough away that it required my co-counsel and I to live out of a hotel for two weeks. The day Jon was scheduled to testify, he drove hours to the courthouse only to discover, as did we, that the judge had personal issues that day and Jon was prevented from testifying. We were told Jon would have to testify the next day.
Some experts would have complained, but after driving half a day to testify, Jon was undaunted. With wife and kids at home, Jon stayed the night in a motel and testified the next day. Some experts would have bailed on us, but not Jon. The next day, Jon did a great of testifying in an organized and clear manner. Jon was quick to understand our case, helped with the organization of the material upon which he based his expert opinion and was capable of explaining complex data in a manner that was simple and straightforward.
While we were going through discovery, Jon was always available to take our calls and Jon's answers to our questions helped guide us through the economic issues that were at the heart of the client's case. If you need an expert opinion from an economist, you couldn't do better than Jon Haveman.- Steven Kesten Esq., Kesten Law
