"Trevor Gilbert is one of the most highly regarded personal injury expert witnesses in the UK today."
Queen's Counsel
"I was just writing to say that I had cause to read your report again in the context of Counsel’s future Loss Schedule and all I can say is that it hit me again how good the report actually is and how much thought and detail you have put into the information provided. It really is an excellent example of an Employment Consultant’s report and I am more than grateful to you."
Claimant lawyer
"Employment experts are often rightly disliked by the courts, for they usually provide 2nd hand and 2nd rate material, but Mr Gilbert has made me completely change my views about them. In a case of significant value Mr Gilbert provided me with a report in a couple of weeks that would have put most other experts I have used to shame. This was original research from beginning to end. What is more he went on to deal with endless amendments with a turnaround of hours and in good humour."
Defendant lawyer
I would describe your firm as the pre-eminent organisation in relation to the provision of expert employment reports. I know that you often act for Defendants but such is your reputation of a fair reporting that this does not prevent me or my firm from instructing you. Indeed your fierce independence is one of the reasons that we do!
Your approach has always been backed by pragmatism often not present in other experts.
Claimant lawyer
"I have always found the reports of both Mr Gilbert and his firm generally to be comprehensive and well balanced. I have also been impressed by Mr Gilbert's willingness to embrace changes in personal injury litigation and to present new ideas to deal with this change."
Defendant lawyer
"I would like to say that I have every faith in your professionalism as indeed do the senior counsel that I instruct who always breathe a sigh of relief when they see a report from you. Counsel at our recent con was highly complimentary and said so to my Client and was not so about the report of Mr X ! Equally my client was not impressed by him but was so by you."
Claimant lawyer
"We have now instructed you in a number of very substantial cases where lost earnings have been claimed in very specialist areas of employment, particularly in the City of London. In each case my clients had found extreme difficulty in gaining access to the true position in relation to earnings in these fields.
It was in this area that your help proved invaluable. I have been impressed by your ability to penetrate the fog that seems to surround such areas and to produce hard evidence to demonstrate the true position. You clearly have a large network of contacts and my experience shows that you have substantial ability to use those contacts in your clients interest."
Queen's Counsel
"I have always been impressed by your ability to think outside the box."
Claimant lawyer
"There are employment experts, uber experts and then there is Trevor Gilbert who is simply outstanding in his field."
Defendant lawyer
"I am writing on behalf of my husband and myself following your visit to our home to interview him regarding his claim following his accident.
I cannot sufficiently put into words how grateful we were for your understanding of the case and more importantly how you conducted the interview. As you know, I am in HR myself and I can say without hesitation that your approach, empathy and full explanation of the reason why you were there more than met our expectations.
Your interviewing technique was something I had not come across before, but then we have never been in this position either, and personally speaking I am full of admiration and will add some to my own repertoire ! More importantly you were able to elicit detailed information under very difficult circumstances that provided you with a complete picture of his circumstances.
As you became aware throughout the interview, this has been very difficult for me and has placed our marriage under great strain and I found it really beneficial to have the opportunity to unburden to a good listener.
Neither of us has ever had such a clear explanation of the process in which we find ourselves, not even from our solicitors, so I am grateful for that too.
Thank you once again and I am happy that whatever the outcome at least there will be a clear understanding of XXXX's circumstances and how he feels and what it has done to us."
Claimant's wife
"It was interesting to note that (the defendants) acknowledged the Claimant's role was not that of a database manager contrary to their expert's opionion and advice ! May I take this opportunity of thanking you for your support and advice throughout which was invaluable in relation to his loss of earnings and your complete understanding of his employment role."
