“JFL was instructed at very short notice, but within 48 hours he had read into a highly complex matter and had spotted a date on a document missed by everyone else. It was a real smoking gun and the other side folded as soon as we brought it to their attention. We got full costs; he was awesome”
“It was hilarious watching the opposition barrister trying to cross-examine JFL – he couldn’t lay a glove on him. Every answer calm, analytical and highly convincing”
“Their cross-examination strategy collapsed as soon as JFL started speaking: he had the jury from the off. In the end, only one of their three barristers wanted to have a go, the others just wanted him to shut up”
“JFL’s proof was concise, direct and utterly devastating. The other side had nowhere to go and withdrew”
“We thought we had a bomb-proof case until we asked JFL to look at it. He found holes in it we’d never realised were there, and advised us to settle. Thank God we didn’t get to court”
“Probably the best prepared expert I’ve ever worked with”
