Damages Expert Witness,Built for the Courtroom.

We can serve as a testifying expert or non-testifying consulting expert. CVA-certified, with methodologies tested in federal and state court.
Confidential Case Evaluation
The most complex matters.
The most demanding venues.
In complex commercial litigation, damages theories rest on multi-factor economic analysis — reasonable royalty calculations, lost profits models, apportionment — that go well beyond what a fact witness can credibly testify to. Courts require this testimony to be grounded in reliable methodology under Federal Rule of Evidence 702 and the Daubert standard.
This is where a qualified damages expert becomes essential. Expert testimony is the evidentiary vehicle connecting a claim of harm to an admissible, quantifiable number a jury can award. Without it, a damages claim may not clear the bar for admissibility at all — leaving no legally sufficient basis to award anything beyond nominal damages, regardless of the harm's reality.
At Quantum Bravo, we bring that same rigor — tested through Daubert challenges, cross-examination, and judicial scrutiny in the most demanding matters — to prove damages.
"The same analytical rigor we bring to every engagement — a defensible, fact-based damages opinion that holds up under cross-examination, Daubert challenge, and judicial scrutiny."

As Managing Partner of Quantum Bravo, Mr. Sobczak serves as lead testifying expert on complex commercial damages and financial forensics matters. His practice spans IP litigation (patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret), breach of contract, construction defect, business tort, and marital disputes. He has deep experience in reasonable royalty, lost profits, and apportionment analyses, in reconstructing disparate financial records, and in supporting testifying experts through Daubert challenges in federal court. He also provides marital business valuation, income determination, tracing of dissipated or undisclosed assets, and forensic analysis in fraud matters.
Previously, Mr. Sobczak was the lead analyst on a patent infringement matter, from engagement through trial, that resulted in a $17 million jury award, one of more than 50 engagements in his career. He graduated Summa Cum Laude from Brigham Young University's Marriott School of Business.
Meet the Team →The cases we take on.
We work with attorneys at any stage of litigation, in any jurisdiction. The cases we bring on require credible financial exposure and a fact pattern suited to forensic finance analysis.
From intake to engaged.
A straightforward process — from an initial call and written budget estimate to completed analysis.
Initial Assessment
We start with a free 20-minute call to confirm there are no conflicts and that the matter fits our expertise. We discuss the financial questions at issue and possible next steps.
Engagement Structure
We recommend a fixed fee for a focused, limited-scope question or hourly billing for a complex matter. Both follow the same independent analytical standard. You receive a written budget estimate before committing.
Damages Model
We build a rigorous, defensible damages model calibrated to the facts and grounded in accepted methodology — designed to withstand Daubert challenge and cross-examination.
Report & Testimony
Fixed-fee engagements conclude with a limited-scope report; hourly engagements can include a full expert report. Deposition and trial testimony, if needed, is billed hourly under either structure.
Consulting Under Privilege
Counsel may retain us as a non-testifying consulting expert, often through a Kovel arrangement, with the aim of protecting our work. Whether privilege and work-product protections apply depends on the facts and governing jurisdiction. We respond within one business day.
