These attorneys all speak in glowing terms of Mr. Stutchman’s competence and high morals. . I found Mr. Stutchman to be extremely well qualified in his area of expertise.”

      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

            “As a senior special investigator in one of the top insurance companies in America, my unit frequently procures the services of Stutchman Forensic Audio and Video Laboratory to clarify and analyze audio and videotapes…We look to Mr. Stutchman to provide the unbiased investigation into our audio and video forensic needs…I know Mr. Stutchman to be honest, hardworking and dedicated to his craft. 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.”

                Roslyn A. Eliaser

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

                  “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.”

                    Brian Dressler

The outcomes of his work are a testament to this fact and a reflection of his dedication.”

                        Assistant Public Defender, Georgia Public Defender Council

                        "Thank you for the video enhancement. It will be very helpful to my client’s case. I will make sure to let the other attorney's in the office know about the quality of the work as well as the great turnaround time. Thanks again."

                            "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."
