Case Summaries
“I have worked with [Mr. Pohl] on a number of class action settlements, and each of my experiences over the course of a number of years has been exceptional.”
“Over the past 30 years I have used several different entities to administer settlement distributions to class members. None have come close to the performance of [Mr. Pohl’s firm].”
“I have absolutely no hesitation recommending Matt Pohl as an expert in class action data compilation and analysis. Matt’s expertise was instrumental in helping us decipher literally hundreds of thousands of data entries from a major retailer’s POS system, which in turn allowed us to efficiently focus our discovery efforts, and ultimately expose weaknesses which led to a very favorable class settlement. I was particularly impressed with Matt’s willingness to make himself available to attend depositions and strategy conferences on short notice. On top of that, Matt and his staff were able to ‘work their magic’ substantially under budget.”
