Nancy C. Smith

Deputy Public Defender, Stanislaus County, CA

“I wanted to let you know how helpful the work was that your Company did on our case. The District Attorney dismissed the case this morning based on the fact that the video surveillance as enhanced by Stephen Buller showed that my client was not the person in the video. Thanks for your assistance!“

Darryl G. Perlin

Senior Deputy District Attorney, County of Santa Barbara

“I wish to take this opportunity to thank you for the excellent work you did in the case of People v. Malinda Jean Jones. Your business did an excellent job with the videotape. This proved to be of invaluable assistance when the jury watched the videotape. Additionally, when you testified during the jury trial, the jury was impressed with your presentation. The work you did in this matter really made a difference. Thank you for your contribution to the success of this important case.”

J. Tony Serra

Lawyer, San Francisco, CA

“The undersigned has been acquainted with and has utilized the services of Mr. Stutchman for approximately the past seven years. I unreservedly recommend Mr. Stutchman for his expertise, devotion to task and quality of work. In an attempted murder case in 1994, his graphics, aerial photographs, enhancements of video and audio tapes were state-of-the-art. He testified as an expert witness for us in these areas. Since that time he has testified on numerous occasions as an expert. In short, I heartily recommend Mr. Stutchman to anyone needing his services and will be happy to speak to anyone concerning his qualifications.”

Bob Burcina

Ret. Police Officer, Sr. Special Investigator, Napa, CA

His reputation is impeccable.”

James V. Jones

Attorney at Law, Napa, CA

“Having practiced criminal law in the courts throughout California for over 30 years, I believe I know an excellent professional when I see one. Gregg Stutchman is one of those rare professionals who is not only superbly qualified, who keeps himself on the cutting edge of technological development, but also one who takes a direct personal interest in his client’s cases. He is prompt and efficient in his work, and will go the ‘extra mile’ that often makes the difference in the successful resolution of complex cases.”

On all occasions we have been exceptionally pleased with Mr. Stutchman’s work and continue to use his services. I know I can count on him to provide fair and competent examinations of audio and video evidence.”

Steven A. Chase

Attorney at Law, San Jose, CA

“I wanted to send you a somewhat belated thanks for the work you performed on behalf of my client. The enhanced and slowed tapes were the straw that finally broke the rather sturdy back of the prosecutor. All eleven robbery counts were dismissed on the eve of trial, and my client and the co-defendant were released after spending nine months in jail for a crime that they didn’t commit. On behalf my client and myself, I send you a heartfelt thanks.”

Laura M. Petty

she/her/hers, Certified Criminal Law Specialist

"I have worked with Steve Buller at Stutchman on multiple homicide cases in the last ten years, always with excellent results. Steve is always clear, responsive, available, patient when I ask him to repeat an explanation, no drama, and always stay within the allotted budget. He stands out from many other experts because of his down-to-earth style of just getting the work done without delays or excuses and then helping me understand what he did and how he did it. Steve is great at enhancing video and audio recordings, and he recently deconstructed a fairly complex video compilation created by law enforcement. He was able to tell me what they got right and what they got wrong-excellent material for cross examination. I will always return to Steve for forensic help."
