Testimonials

I needed color to bring my case to life that could connect with the jury. That’s where Ellen’s expertise came into play.

My goal was to highlight how my client’s injury resulted in permanent functional loss that affected his life on a daily basis. But, something was missing. The damage picture of my case was sterile. It looked black and white. I needed color to bring my case to life that could connect with the jury. That’s where Ellen’s expertise came into play. The hours she spent with my client performing comprehensive objective functional testing illustrated the profound deficits my client experienced in a way his treating orthopedic doctor could not demonstrate.

Ellen is the consummate professional who understands her role in the process and is flexible and fair in working with clients.

I have known Ellen Rader Smith for the better part of the last decade having retained her to perform Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCEs) on my clients in connection with individual and group disability claims. Working with Ellen is always a pleasure. She is the consummate professional who understands her role in the process and is flexible and fair in working with clients. She understands the need for clarity and precision in her assessments, and she writes understandable yet comprehensive reports which have assisted many of my clients in successfully documenting the nature of their functional limitations. More important than all of this is that Ellen is honest. She will tell me the truth about her assessment, whether it is what I want to hear or not. I trust and rely upon her to provide me guidance in these critical areas where she has the expertise which I lack. I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone who is looking for an honest professional in this area who is easy to work with and has the expertise and skills essential to doing this important work effectively.

Ellen’s attention to detail, and how the injury affects my client on a day to day basis make my case easier for a jury to understand.

I have utilized the services of Ellen Rader Smith for about ten years. I look to her any time I feel that it is important to provide a jury (or an insurance adjuster), a clear understanding of severity and depth of my client’s impairment and/or disability. Ellen’s attention to detail, and how the injury affects my client on a day to day basis make it easy for a jury to understand why my client can no longer perform once routine tasks, with the same ease and ability they once had, before being subjected to their traumatic injury. Ellen always makes herself available to do the requested evaluations, as well as trial testimony, if that becomes necessary. I highly endorse her services.

I would not hesitate to recommend Ellen’s services.

Ellen did a thorough job performing an occupational therapy evaluation on my client.  She is a pleasure to deal with and has excellent qualifications to back up her opinions.  Her testimony at trial was strong and went a long way in helping to secure a verdict in my client’s favor.   I would not hesitate to recommend her services.
