In Yacht Fire Cases, “I trust Walt to tell me how it is and be able to answer questions in detail about his findings. That’s the mark of a good expert, not just an expert. It’s as my grandfather used to say, there are many experts, (especially in the US!!) but not many good ones.” On the case immediately below, regarding the “Virgin Islands Nightclub and Vessel Fire”, Mark said “When Walt and I discussed his initial findings, as always he had found the origin and cause of the fire. Walt is the best in his field.”
