Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Joseph H. Guth. My professional career
has already been a long one (well over 50 years). It has spanned various disciplines of chemistry and related fields in depth.
I have spent many years in basic, as well as applied research fields and have also successfully operated commercial testing
and R & D laboratories for over 30 years in several areas of the U.S. The last commercial laboratory was Interscience
Research, Inc. in Norfolk, Virginia and was recognized as a top laboratory nationally in a number of fields, including full
field and laboratory services in environmental, asbestos, lead, water, air, gas, petroleum products, general chemical analysis,
standards and product specification testing, metallurgical evaluation, failure analysis, polymers, forensics, industrial hygiene,
microbiological, mold and related indoor air quality, radon and radiation exposure, and general and specific product/operation
quality control testing for various industries.
In my career, I have taught basic and advanced chemistry and biochemistry
at the university level, as well as trained thousands of people in a wide variety of technical disciplines, including all
aspects of asbestos and industrial hygiene project activities. If I can't help you with the answer to your scientific-legal
questions, I probably know an expert who can answer them. I look forward to assisting you in any way that either I, or our
organization, can.

Client Responses
"Just a short note to let you know how very much we appreciate your support and cooperation in this case. As you know,
I believe, we were able to resolve the matters at issue between the parties without a trial. Had it not been for your help,
we would never had been able to resolve this case successfully. As I am sure you know, our civil justice system is far from
perfect. It is time consuming, complex, expensive and frustrating for both litigants and witnesses alike. However, I hope
that you realize that it is because of good people like you who commit themselves to justice and to participation in the process
that we are ultimately able to achieve a fair and equitable result in a case like this one. It is folks like you who enable
folks like me to continue to believe in the process and to continue to believe that, so long as we continue to have the heart
and the will to bear the many burdens of the battle, justice will ultimately prevail."
