What Attorneys Say!

"In 40 years of litigation, I have retained hundreds of experts in all fields.  Gary is one of the best. A consummate professional, well prepared, articulate and smoothly handles difficult questions.  I highly recommend him!”
David A. Sleppy
Cathey & Strain, Cornelia, GA 


I had the pleasure of working with Gary Ludwig in a hotly contested case against an emergency services provider and 9-1-1 District for the wrongful death of my client’s wife.  Chief Ludwig testified at deposition and then at trial on a number of pivotal issues in the case.  His trial testimony was critical to the success of our case, which resulted in the largest plaintiff’s verdict in the history of the judicial circuit in which the case was tried.  Chief Ludwig’s trial testimony was among the best I have witnessed from an expert witness.  He addressed the issues in an engaging, relatable, and highly credible manner.  I highly recommend Chief Ludwig.
