Carl Finocchiaro, P.E. – SPECTRUM FORENSICS LLC – Englewood, CO

“FEA Services provided top-notch finite element services for a high profile case I was working on. The work involved evaluating very large finite element models of great complexity, and Gabe and his team provided interrogation and evaluation of models generated by others. FEA Services was the key element in bringing this complex case to a conclusion. I would highly recommend Gabe and his team for any finite element project, big or small.”

“As a civil trial lawyer, we often encounter complex cases.  When it involves a product failure, the complexities of what caused the machine to fail are frequently challenging.  Many times, the answer requires a forensic level understanding of structural behavior that withstands the rigors of being tested by highly qualified, and well-equipped opponents.

It is in this kind of situation that I have turned to Gabe Dambaugh of FEA Services to apply his specialized structural engineering training in finite element analysis (“FEA”).  His work on our behalf was transformative.  Through advance modeling and simulation, he identified the precise failure mechanism and provided a clear, understandable explanation for what went wrong.

Gabe’s analysis became the cornerstone of our case, allowing us to move forward with confidence and credibility. What makes his work invaluable to trial lawyers is not just his technical expertise, it is his ability to communicate it.  He is responsive, collaborative, and remarkably efficient at translating complex engineering concepts into courtroom-ready language.  His findings are not only scientifically sound, but also strategically useful in depositions, mediation, and trial.

If your case hinges on structural failure, mechanical breakdown, or any question buried in technical complexity, Gabe Dambaugh is the expert you want on your litigation team. I recommend him without hesitation.”

“Mr. Dambaugh of FEA SERVICES was a pleasure to work with, and he got the job done within budget and ahead of time. He was diligent, insightful, professional, timely, polite, and a good teacher. Ours was an unintuitive, complex (forensic) problem, but he handled it with ease. The revised component survived the abuse, and helped our engine become the first and only heavy fuel solution in its class ever to pass the US Army’s endurance qualification test for unmanned airplanes.”
