Jimmy Cruz runs an accredited fenestration test laboratory day to day, executing the exact ASTM and AAMA protocols at issue in construction-defect litigation. He knows what the standard requires, how the test must be run, and what the results do — and don't — prove, because he does this work every week — not years ago.
Discuss a CaseBefore filing: does the evidence support a product defect, an installation defect, or neither? An early technical read that can save a case — or stop a weak one.
Designs and executes the test protocol (ASTM E1105, E783, AAMA 502/511), documents everything, and produces the data the case turns on.
Reviews opposing experts' protocols and reports for deviations from the standard; observes their site testing so shortcuts get on the record.
Expert reports, declarations, deposition, and trial testimony — technical findings explained so a jury follows them.
Common attack lines against fenestration experts — and why they don't land here:
Yes — he runs these tests today, in the accredited laboratory he manages and in the field. Not experience from a past career: current practice. [confirm role/title at FTL]
Protocols are designed to the letter of the governing document, with calibration records and deviations (if any) disclosed and justified in the report.
Independent practice, no manufacturer affiliations, and a track record of telling clients when the evidence doesn't support their theory.
Confidential review of the technical record before commitment.
Standards-based testing with complete documentation, or oversight of opposing testing.
Findings tied explicitly to the governing standard's language.
Clear, non-evasive testimony; demonstratives that make the physics legible.
