Testimonials 

Peter has been used by California Department of Real Estate as an expert witness. The following are a few excerpts from letters on file regarding Mr. Rosenthal’s expert witness work. We have picked only a few that cover over twenty years of expert witness testimony.

"...Your knowledge of the trust deed loan brokerage business was very helpful in our trial preparation and I’m sure contributed to our eventual victory."	Alan Jay Weil Bushkin, Gaims & Gaines (SEC v. Universal Financial) January 23, 1983
"...In fact, the judge, William Masterson, told all counsel in chambers that you were one of the best expert witnesses he’d seen in 29 years as a lawyer and judge. He said that if he were still practicing as a lawyer, he would ask for one of your business cards..."	I. David Small Law Offices of I. David Small (Chafin v. A. Sentry Mortgage Corporation) September 6,1990
"...The case is now settled. I believe it was in large part due to your analysis of the facts of the case which led my opponent to take a more realistic view of his position. Thanks again for your willingness to be a fair and impartial expert witness."	Ronald S. Smith Ronald S. Smith, A Law Corporation (Miller v. Millman) April 25, 1994
"This settlement and our ability to put -- in a deep hole could not have been possible without your expert services.  Obviously I am aware that you testified as an expert, but you are an experts expert."	Robert C. Baker Baker, Silberberg, and Keener (Shlens v. MDI SYSTEMS, ET AL) June 1, 1998
I'm writing to thank you again for your great work in the Bowers v. Washington Mutual Bank case.  Your willingness to serve as our expert witness on such short notice was incredible.  Your quick study and understanding of the issues was nothing short of brilliant.  I believe that your deposition testimony was instrumental in convincing the other defendants that they had liability in the case, and allowed us to achieve such a great settlement at the mediation.	James D. Hibbard Bullivant, Houser, Baily PC June 19, 2007
