Mr. Watkins performed exceptionally on our very complex case. He developed the strategy to address our claim and identified the best approach to present our case after evaluating the extensive case records. He led our team in the development of the supporting case information and was available to meet with our team and answer our questions in a timely manner. He presented our case concisely and executed an excellent cross examination. He won the case for our team which was critical for our company. We were impressed with his work ethic and performance and will hire him again if we are faced with a similar situation.

I recently worked with Rhyddid on a complicated, technical issue where he was able to quickly sort through all communication and engineering documentation to understand the basis of the problem. With his leadership and guidance we were able to map out a path for a successful outcome. We are appreciative of the attention and dedication he and his firm gave and we would certainly reach out to engage their services again.
