Legal Support
Anything On Earth has a long and successful history of providing invaluable support to law firms in the form of exemplar products, product reports and expert witnesses. We have worked seamlessly with individual lawyers, complex legal teams, private investigators, accident re-creation experts and forensic engineers. For 30 years, our broad experience with custom acquisitions has enabled us to stand out and provide a service like no other.
We have played an integral role in the legal judgements and settlements totaling over $300 million.
For example, we have:
– have played an integral role in the legal judgments and settlements totaling over $ 200 million.
– researched, hunted, located, and delivered 10 vehicles for a rollover case: judgment over $ 100 million
– purchased over 70 lbs. of a sweet confection used for testing and evaluation for a case: settlement $40 million
– negotiated obtained and transported 8 vehicles and 4 complete interiors including dashboards, seats belts and doors for inspection, side-by-side comparison and crash testing: settlement $19 million.
We frequently participate in case reviews with individual lawyers to analyze and update the team on our research and to discuss strategies and acquisitions. Our ability to provide a quantitative analysis and product knowledge from a unique perspective gives an additional insight to help clients build a solid case. Every client understands that the names, numbers, and relationships we bring to the table are unparalleled and powerful.
Finally, AOE’s ability to procure the best expert witnesses has been a valuable niche service for our clients. We have a worldwide reach, which is often needed to secure the best-of-the-best expert witnesses for a particular case. This was the case with a lawsuit involving a ski accident. Our client needed a superstar in the field and we cast our nets overseas, providing a two-time Olympic gold medal snowboarder from Europe. Our client was victorious, negotiating a $16 million settlement. In another case, it would not be an overstatement to say that the jury was all choked up when our expert witness – none other than Dr. Henry Heimlich – took the stand. Outcome: Plaintiffs verdict for $16.7 million.
From small to large items, for experts near or far, you and your firm can rely on AOE for your Custom Acquisition needs
Expert Witnesses
We search for the best Expert Witness for each case. These important cases need truly special witnesses with specific attention to details, which other companies’ lists of reused expert witnesses rarely satisfies. To win within the jury box often you and your team have to think outside the box, and our witnesses can stand up to any scrutiny thrown their way.
We have flown across the country and transported numerous vehicles back to our clients and their test facilities; we have spent hundreds of hours in a junkyards and used car lots; and we have searched the four corners of the globe to find that exact item that helped to get our client their desired verdict/settlement. Like a restaurant, you don't need to know how we get your items, you just want it delivered where and when you need it.
Product - Data, History etc.
A products history, production methods & location, distribution , storage etc. have an enormous effect on its performance and longevity. The locating, tracking and documenting of this information is very time consuming and laborious for those that are less then 110% invested and experienced in the process. We also have an amazing amount of internal and external data to draw from in a wide variety for product lines.
The database of thousands of experts in hundreds of different fields from over 80 countries from which we interface for our clients on a daily bases for their deep knowledge is irreplaceable and priceless. We are in daily contact not only with our own experts in the United States, but also experts in Asia and Europe as well as South America and the Middle East.
