About the Center

The Center for Forensic Economic Studies is a firm of economists and statisticians specializing in litigation support.

In 1980, Jerome Staller, then a senior government economist, formed a firm dedicated to applying economic and statistical analysis to problems arising in litigation. The firm provided attorneys and courts with calculations of damages in civil litigation. It also provided statistical analyses of liability in mass-tort and civil-rights matters. The firm earned a reputation for reporting the results of such analysis clearly and coherently.

Building on its two main areas of practice - analysis of damages in personal injury matters and the statistical analysis of liability and damages in labor and employment matters - the firm has greatly expanded its scope.

Today, the Center, working with a diverse clientele, analyzes damages and liability in many areas, including injury and death matters, mass torts, commercial litigation, employment actions and insurance-related issues. In addition, Center economists consult in non- litigation areas such as labor-law compliance, business valuation, feasibility studies and wage negotiation.
