GVI (Government of the Virgin Islands) did not demonstrate in the arbitration that the audit recapitulation performed by Dubinsky was inappropriate or unreliable. To the contrary, the GVI's random testing of Dubinsky's audit reconciliations in cross-examination demonstrated the reliability of Dubinsky's work product and opinions.”

My antennas were up,” says Sheila Amato, a schoolteacher who served on the jury, who remembers feeling that some of the defendants were guilty after Dubinsky’s presentation. “But at that point, I wasn’t sure if they all were.”

“I have worked on a number of cases with Bruce, and he is one of the best forensic consultants with whom I have ever worked. His credentials and experience in business valuation, in particular, are peerless. Unlike some "name" experts, Bruce immerses himself in the record, and his analyses are unassailable. Based upon his input and analysis, we were able to disqualify a leading economic consultant who had proffered a business valuation report in a federal district court case. Bruce is first rate in every way.”
