Kincaid Wolstein Vocational & Rehabilitation Services

What Kincaid Wolstein Vocational & Rehabilitation Services does

Kincaid Wolstein Vocational & Rehabilitation Services (KWVRS) is a private, founder-led professional services firm founded in 1988 and headquartered in Hackensack, New Jersey, that delivers vocational evaluation, life care planning, forensic economic analysis, and expert witness services to attorneys, insurance carriers, and litigants. The firm assesses earning capacity, employability, and lifelong care needs in personal injury, workers' compensation, medical malpractice, matrimonial, and employment-law matters, producing court-defensible reports and providing deposition, arbitration, and courtroom testimony. Service delivery is built around a credentialed bench that includes PhDs, a board-certified emergency medicine physician, occupational therapists, forensic economists, and Certified Life Care Planners, several of whom hold ABVE Fellow or Diplomate status.

The firm's operational footprint spans four offices in New Jersey, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Virginia, with stated nationwide case coverage and occasional international engagements. Core methodology combines transferable skills analysis, labor market surveys, functional capacity evaluations, and multidisciplinary standard-of-care benchmarking against AOTA and ANA protocols. The firm operates a secure client portal for case-document exchange and publishes online intake forms (PHQ and HIPAA in English and Spanish), but no proprietary technology platform or AI capabilities are disclosed. The sub-brand KWEconomics (kweconomics.com) provides dedicated forensic economic evaluation and business valuation services, and a related entity, Wolstein Putts (wpec.expert), handles employment-law matters.

KWVRS generates revenue through custom, project-based professional services fees quoted per case, with engagement terms set after an initial consultation and record review. Go-to-market is consultative and relationship-driven, primarily through attorney referrals, insurance-carrier engagements, organic search/SEO, educational content (blog articles on Daubert compliance, deposition preparation, and documentation hierarchy), and the professional network of its leadership, including Dr. Dan Wolstein's tenure as ABVE President (2023-2025). Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and no institutional funding, M&A, or revenue figures are reported in the source data.
