Our Services

At Rizzardi Economic Associates, we apply the same methodology to all our case retentions. We know, though, that each case is unique; therefore, we provide careful analysis to determine the best approach and solution. Every analysis is prepared accurately and timely by our dedicated team of knowledgeable experts.

  • With our team, you can count on knowledgeable consultancy and expert advice every step of the way. Our valuation reports are comprehensive and detailed and offer our client a tool to use for settlement purposes in advance of trial.

  • Our economists assist in all phases of a case from early settlement demands to preliminary assessment of potential economic exposure. Early retention allows us to:

    Identify other experts that may be needed in the case;

    Compile questions and areas of inquiry for depositions;

    Prepare requests for document production;

    Identify records and/or information that can be subpoenaed in a timely manner.

  • Our economists articulate their opinions clearly and concisely, providing for a credible source when needed.

“I first met and worked with Ms. Rizzardi when she was an associate economist at IBAR Settlement Company, Inc., in 1985. Over the time span of 1985-1996, she prepared economic evaluations and testified in court on my cases. I continued to work with Ms. Rizzardi at her own firm and she most recently testified for me in the case of Ornelas v. Southern California Edison Company; et al., in Fresno County Superior Court which resulted in a plaintiff verdict in the amount of $5,792,879.75 (Feb. 2011).

She is also testifying for me in the upcoming trial of Gottselig v. Brehm and Keyston Bros; et al. Her work product is exceptional and she is always punctual in her reporting and deposition and trial testimony. Her impression in court is excellent. I commend her to anyone considering a forensic economist.”
