Consulting & Expert Witness

John Rocheleau draws upon his 28-year tenure in HVAC/R to very competently serve as a Consultant or Expert Witness in the following areas.

HVAC/R consulting to residential and commercial property owners

Whether you want to do-it-yourself, or want to confirm the job was done correctly by others (before final payment is made), John Rocheleau will provide you with all the information you need.

Consulting to General, and HVAC/R Contractors

Let’s face it, nobody knows everything, that’s why we have consultants. As a G.C., you need to know that a system was designed and installed correctly - that’s when Protech can help confirm that it was…or wasn’t. If you are a tradesman, Protech can provide you with invaluable technical insight to help you through difficult troubleshooting, designs, or installations.

Consulting to Plaintiff’s and Defendant’s legal counsel

Good litigators are so because they have the requisite knowledge to win in Court. John Rocheleau has served as Consultant in many HVAC-related cases that require forensic analysis. Show me a system, and I will tell you its history, verbally, and in hard copy with text and pictures.

Expert witness in depositions and court hearings

Having been a plaintiff’s representative in numerous cases, John Rocheleau is very comfortable in legal environments, and is not intimidated by the most clever attorneys, especially in depositions or on the witness stand.

Consulting to Manufacturers on HVAC/R component design

With 28 years in the HVAC/R trade, and having over 50 invention designs and 6 patents, John Rocheleau has unique insight into product design for the industry. Having begun as a starry-eyed inventor, then realizing through successes and failures what it takes to create a winning product, John has the creativity and marketing know-how to envision winning product designs. Afterall, John’s simplest 1/2 dozen designs are now industry standards.

Consulting to independent inventors

Not quite sure if you should proceed with the development of your dream? John Rocheleau can help you understand the undertaking at hand, and coach you through all aspects of developing your invention. I can save you enormous sums of money (and sweat and tears), through one-on-one guidance, from making a go/no-go decision, to negotiating deals with Licensees.
