During my twenty-five  years of practice in the field of marital and family law, I have  experienced many changes in this area of practice with perhaps the most  significant change being the need for competent and persuasive expert  witnesses to address the various issues that confront the marital and  family lawyer. As many of you already know, Jerry Reiss, ASA, is an  extremely competent and persuasive expert witness for retirement plans. I  have presented the testimony of Mr. Reiss in more than one case and did  achieve a winning result in each of those cases. However, in addition  to utilizing Mr. Reiss as an expert witness in the retirement area, I  have found Mr. Reiss to be an invaluable resource in the analysis and  legal interpretation of pension language, alimony and related language  found in marital settlement agreements. In addition to Mr. Reiss serving  as a sounding board for my legal interpretation and "theory of the  case" for cases involving these issues, he has never failed to provide  an enhancement to the final presentation of my case.

To Whom It May Concern:  

I  recently retained Mr. Jerry Reiss, an enrolled actuary, as an expert  witness in a divorce case.  Although Mr. Reiss had a short amount of  time to get up to speed on the case, he provided excellent consultation  on issues related to the valuation of a federal pension and the  appropriate amount of alimony.  Mr. Reiss is a very knowledgeable expert  on retirement and pension issues and, especially critical, he is  acutely aware of the lawyer's challenges in advocacy.  He has an  incredible handle on the case law and he can analyze the facts of a  divorce case in a clear, concise fashion.  I strongly recommend Mr.  Reiss to any family law attorney involved in these types of issues.

This  email is to thank you for your assistance in writing the Initial and  Reply Briefs in the Richardson case, 900 So.2d. 656 (Fla 2nd DCA, 2005)  Your expertise and insight regarding equitable division of retirement  benefits proved invaluable. The client prevailed on all issues raised in  the Appeal. Your knowledge of the case law and understanding of  retirement benefit issues were the reason for this success. As I advised  the trial court issues regarding QDROs and proper division of  retirement benefits are extremely complex and often beyond the  understanding of the attorneys and judges. Your efforts and commitment  to this case are the reasons that we succeeded on the appeal. Had I been  able to use your expertise at the trial level I am sure an appeal would  not have been necessary. I might also add that your collaboration  regarding life insurance as security for payment of alimony was of great  value as well.

Once again, thank you for your assistance and best regards.

WOW!  What a great Memo Of Law you wrote for me. I explained the issue to  you, sent the pleadings and transcripts and you created a masterpiece  that defended our position perfectly with all case law and statutes to  back it up. I could not have done the work and the amount of research  you did for the small amount of money you charged. I definitely will use  your services again if the need arises. Thanks again for a job well  done.

I have known Jerry Reiss, a well-recognized actuary and forensic expert witness, for over 15 years. I know him very well and have co-authored with him two articles appearing in the Florida Bar Journal, July 1998 and August 2006. Also, I co-authored with him an article for a national publication, Journal of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, Winter Edition 1998. Additionally, I have worked with Jerry on several Briefs and have used him in matrimonial cases as an expert witness. Jerry Reiss has an impressive resume and courtroom talent. He has a unique writing talent and has helped many Florida practitioners in briefing complicated legal issues in our appellate Courts. I unhesitatingly recommend him to you as one of the outstanding Florida family law expert witnesses."

Dear Jerry:

As requested, I would like to take the opportunity to commend you for your  work in the Acker case.

(someday, we might actually meet).

Your involvement and dedication to an assignment has been most impressive and  appreciated. I found your ability to address issues and concepts and  present them in a context to be presented to a court to be  extraordinary. In Acker, you were able to take a complex area, i.e.  pensions and retirement benefits, pick out the most important points,  and present them in a way which I believe will get the attention of the  Supreme Court Panel. What also impressed me is your enthusiasm with this  endeavor. I know you went "the extra mile."

Please feel free to  use this as you may seem fit. In conclusion, I would have no problem  with giving nothing more than a stellar recommendation if need be.

Very truly yours,

To Whomever it May Concern:

I  am a Family Law practitioner in Jacksonville, Florida. In the course of  my practice, I have had the opportunity to work with Jerry Reiss, an Enrolled Actuary. The issue I had was a relatively new issue regarding the Deferred Retirement Option Plan and how it fits into a past Final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage which divided a pension. The Final Judgment was entered prior to the enactment 

and existence of the

 Deferred Retirement Option Program.

Mr. Reiss’ involvement proved to be extremely beneficial. Mr. Reiss was very knowledgeable, as any lawyer, in the area of equitable distribution and retirement plans. I found Mr. Reiss to be very thorough in his preparation and examination of the issue. As there was a large sum of money at stake, the investment in hiring Mr. Reiss was money well spent. I would recommend      Mr. Reiss’ services in any case involving valuation and distribution of

 retirement  assets, particularly if such assets are of significant value.

I appreciate your attention in this matter.

Dear Fellow Practitioner: 

I have been a civil trial practitioner 

for the past 27 years, and I have engaged the services of literally hundreds of experts. Of those experts I retained over the years, there are only a handful of experts I would  vigorously endorse. Jerry Reiss is a member of than handful of experts who 

I would vigorously endorse.

Mr. Reiss is the only enrolled actuary in our area, and his expertise in that discipline, together with his litigation

 support skills, are truly extraordinary.

If you  have not already read articles co-authored by Mr. Reiss in the

 Florida Bar Journal, as well as the

 Family Law Commentator, I would respectfully  suggest that you consider doing so. Mr. Reiss’ articles in the Florida  Bar Journal have appeared as far back as February and March, 1995,  regarding the drafting of QDRO’s. I would suggest reviewing the enclosed  of articles. It is my considered opinion that the contents of those  articles provide compelling evidence of his understanding and capacity to deal with complex analytical issues. I have utilized Mr. Reiss’  services in the past and will continue to do so in the future, and I would respectfully suggest that you review those articles which he co-authored to determine whether or not his expert services would be  appropriate for you in your practice.  
 

Yours truly,

 This letter is written as an endorsement and recommendation of the professional Services of Jerry Reiss, P.O. Box 150188, Altamonte Springs, FL  (407) 869-7004. 

Mr.  Reiss, a professional actuary, has great command of the pension law and ERISA, as well as federal and state case law that governs these retirement plans and welfare issues.  As a result, he is uniquely qualified to provide pension plan valuation testimony and QDRO drafting  services to family law attorneys and, accordingly, he is rightfully recognized as a leader throughout the United States in the family law area. But that expertise is by no means limited to family law.  I personally employed his services to value the economic loss resulting from wrongful  termination of a management employee of a major corporation.  I found that valuation and his accompanying analysis to be thorough and persuasive, and the overall product to equal the qualility of work that earned him the excellent reputation in the area of family law. I  recommend him highly to any attorney that needs help with a pension or welfare plan.  This could include a valuation issue, testimony support,  ERISA compliance issues, QDRO drafting, or just the valuing of a loss for purposes of litigation.  Over the past two years that I have come to know him, I can vouch that he is smart, articulate and, as an additional plus, gets the work done on  time.  To attorneys that believe that economists best value economic losses in areas of litigation support, I would urge such attorneys consider employing an actuary in the future, such as Mr. Reiss. I stand ready to discuss Mr. Reiss' very fine work product at any time. 

Sincerely Yours,

To Whom It May Concern:   

I  have known Jerry Reiss for several years in his capacity as an actuary in regard to pension and valuation benefits, 

and the structuring of Qualified Domestic Relations Orders.  I can say without hesitation that I do not know anyone who is more knowledgeable than Jerry, in this  field.  His approach is painstakingly careful, analytical, and he discovers and investigates issues which would not ordinarily occur to the matrimonial practitioner, but which are often of crucial  importance.  He will also not hesitate to forcefully negotiate with a plan administrator who has made arbitrary or incorrect assumptions concerning the qualification of an order or the interpretation of a plan.  I  have used no one other than Jerry as an expert in any of my cases  involving these matters, since first making his acquaintance.

Dear Jerry:

This letter is to thank you for the excellent work you did in representing my client at trial. You assisted me in finding cases to support my client's position, helped narrow the scope of your trial testimony, and helped me explore cross-examination issues for the opposing expert. This assistance was invaluable not only in explaining the case law  supporting our position to the court,

 but also in proving our client's  case.

As you know, the court was convinced of our client's position and intends to rule in our favor. Once we receive a copy of the court's ruling or filing judgment, we will be pleased to share a copy with you.

As you know, one of the best compliments to the excellent work you did in this case was when opposing counsel asked me for your number so that he could retain you in a subsequent case. This letter is to inform you that I gave him your telephone number as well as my recommendation that you would provide his client with excellent representation in the area of pension valuations.  I again thank you for your hard work in this matter, as well as all the hard work that you have undertaken throughout your career to be able to very simply explain to the court what could  have been a very complex issue.  Should you need any further recommendations, please feel free to call upon me.  I look forward to working with you in the future..

Very truly yours,

 Rubinstein & Holz, P.A.                                                                  

  For the Firm

 I used Jerry Reiss, an actuary, 

not too long ago, and his report and deposition testimony in a sex discrimination in denial of  promotion/discharge case was very helpful in enabling me to secure a very good settlement.  My female plaintiff was a highly paid individual,  and Jerry was able to formulate some original and quite impressive theories which translated into expert testimony.  One caveat is we did  not get to test his innovative theories in court because the case was settled, but I thought they would fly and I guess the defense did too.  Jerry has an impressive resume re cases in which he has testified and  credentials.

To: JerryReissASA@aol.com (Jerry Reiss) CC: sari@addicottlaw.com (Sari Addicott) 

As a board certified business litigator and marital and family law attorney, I do not hesitate in recommending the services of Jerry Reiss, ASA. His knowledge, thorough preparation and demeanor as an expert  witness were instrumental in the successful result reached in a very contested and complicated case. He presented himself as a highly credible, persuasive and authoritative. Without going into the details of the case, some of the issues included administration of a pension plan, labor law, transfer of assets and projection of investment earnings. It is hard to find an expert witness who fits all of the requirements that we as litigators seek.

 Mr. Reiss is able to quickly grasp the facts of a matter, research the issues he spots, remain independent, charge reasonably for services, and testify with  competence of facts and the law in his area of expertise. If anyone needs further detail on the value of his services, I can be contacted at

 To Whom It May Concern:

This  letter is written as an endorsement and recommendation of the  professional Services of Jerry Reiss,

P.O. Box 150188

 Altamonte Springs, FL  

(407) 869-7004. 

Mr.  Reiss, a professional actuary, has great command of the pension law and ERISA, as well as federal and state case law that governs these retirement plans and welfare issues.  As a result, he is uniquely qualified to provide pension plan valuation testimony and QDRO drafting  services to family law attorneys and, accordingly, he is rightfully recognized as a leader throughout the United States in the family law area. But that expertise is by no means limited to family law.  I personally employed his services to value the economic loss resulting from wrongful  termination of a management employee of a major corporation. I found that valuation and his accompanying analysis to be thorough and persuasive, and the overall product to equal the quality of work that earned him the excellent reputation in the area of family law. I  recommend him highly to any attorney that needs help with a pension or welfare plan. This could include a valuation issue, testimony support, ERISA compliance issues, QDRO drafting, or just the valuing of a loss for purposes of litigation.  

Over the past two years that I have come to know him, I can vouch that he is  smart, articulate and, as an additional plus, gets the work done on time. To attorneys that believe that economists best value economic losses in areas of litigation support, I would urge such attorneys consider employing an actuary in the future, such as Mr. Reiss. I stand ready to discuss Mr. Reiss' very fine work product at any time. 

Sincerely Yours,

Bill Carew

I thought you did an excellent job of explaining a complicated area of pension law in a memorandum to be used in a 

trial brief on a case in Lee County. The memorandum was well done and displayed an extraordinary knowledge of the nuances of pension law in Florida and its many ambiguous areas. I greatly appreciated your help in explaining the law to the court in that case in a way that made clear to the court the choices it had to make to resolve the dispute. Great job!
