Ted Affleck is the rare expert who combines experience, intellect, creativity and integrity. He is comfortable with the numbers, understands the context, and gets to the correct answer faster than anyone else. I have used Ted to consult and/or testify on a wide variety of highly complex variable insurance and other insurance matters, and I will enthusiastically continue to do so." - Robert Gilbert, Managing Partner, Gilbert & Renton LLC, Andover, MA

Our firm has used Ted Affleck on several occasions to help us evaluate life insurance "sales practice" and other types of cases. We have found Ted to be very honest and very competent, a "straight shooter". He has never hesitated to tell us if there is no case or if there are problems with a potential case. We represented an individual whose agent repeatedly converted the built-up cash values in existing policies to fund the sale of new policies; in total, over twenty policies were sold and replaced over a period of almost fifteen years. The damage calculation in the case was a nightmare, but Ted worked tirelessly to develop a program that apparently so impressed company counsel that the case was quickly settled as a result of Ted's work product. - Ron R. Parry, Managing Partner, Parry Deering Futscher & Sparks, P.S.C., Covington, KY

Our firm retained Ted Affleck to serve as an expert witness and consultant in a large and complicated variable life insurance dispute.

Hartman, Partner, Hermann, Cahn & Schneider LLP, Cleveland, OH
