Independent recognition of individual contributions to the litigation community and advancement of expert witness services by Los Angeles Business Journal
PSASDENA, CA, UNITED STATES, August 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — ForensisGroup, known as The Expert of Experts®, a provider of expert witness services supporting attorneys, law firms, insurers, corporations and other organizations, announced today that Founder & CEO Mercy Tolentino Steenwyk and Managing Director, Emily Lou Steenwyk have each been independently recognized by the Los Angeles Business Journal as 2026 Leaders of Influence: Litigators & Trial Attorneys. The annual publication honors individuals whose work has made a significant impact on the legal profession and the Los Angeles community.
While neither Mercy nor Emily practices law, their inclusion reflects the firm’s more than three decades of supporting attorneys, law firms, insurers and other organizations involved in complex litigation through the identification and vetting of highly qualified expert witnesses. Their work has helped attorneys navigate technically challenging cases by connecting them with independent experts capable of explaining complex issues clearly, objectively and credibly.
The recognition highlights two distinct but complementary leadership paths within ForensisGroup.
Mercy Tolentino Steenwyk founded ForensisGroup in 1991 after recognizing the challenges attorneys faced locating qualified expert witnesses across highly specialized disciplines. Guided by the company’s commitment to Nothing But the Truth®, she built one of the nation’s leading expert witness firms by emphasizing independence, integrity and exceptional client service.

Emily Lou Steenwyk has helped lead ForensisGroup’s evolution for today’s legal environment by enhancing the client experience, expanding the company’s digital resources and introducing technology that allows the firm’s team to focus more time on understanding each case and identifying the right expert. Her leadership reflects a balance of innovation and personal service, reinforcing the firm’s High Touch High TechTM philosophy.
“To be recognized by the Los Angeles Business Journal among professionals who help shape the litigation community is an incredible honor,” said Mercy Tolentino Steenwyk. “While we aren’t litigators ourselves, we’ve dedicated our careers to helping attorneys uncover the technical truth through qualified, objective experts. This recognition reflects the work of our entire team and our unwavering commitment to Nothing But the Truth®.”
Emily Lou Steenwyk added, “Every case is different and every expert relationship matters. We are honored that our contributions to the legal profession have been recognized alongside so many respected leaders. Our goal has always been to make it easier for attorneys to find the expertise they need while delivering an exceptional client experience built on trust, responsiveness and human connection.”
