When a case turns on how a fiber, fabric, coating or polymer behaved, the outcome often depends on whether the judge and jury understand the science. Dr. Parachuru provides independent expert witness services for textiles, polymers and materials, translating complex material behavior into clear, defensible opinions.
Drawing on decades of research and teaching at Georgia Tech and a network of nearly 80 engineers and scientists, we review the evidence, run or direct appropriate testing, and prepare reports and testimony that hold up under cross-examination.
Common problems we're called in to solve
- A product failed in use and the parties disagree whether the cause was the material, the manufacturing or the end user.
- Opposing counsel has retained an expert whose methodology or conclusions appear unsupported.
- Specifications, test reports and supplier certifications conflict, and counsel needs someone to make sense of them.
- The case requires an expert who can explain polymer chemistry and textile structure to non-technical decision makers.
Our approach
- 1Early case assessment to tell counsel candidly where the technical strengths and weaknesses lie.
- 2Document, specification and sample review, with testing designed around the questions actually in dispute.
- 3Written expert reports that follow accepted methodology and are suitable for Daubert and Kelly/Frye scrutiny.
- 4Deposition and trial testimony delivered in plain language, supported by clear visuals.
Outcomes and benefits
- A credible, independent opinion grounded in recognized test methods.
- Earlier clarity on case merits, which supports settlement strategy.
- Testimony that educates the trier of fact rather than confusing them.

Frequently asked questions
What types of cases do you take as a textile and polymer expert witness?
Product liability, breach of warranty and contract disputes, patent and trade secret matters, insurance claims, and any dispute where the performance or composition of a fiber, fabric, polymer or composite is at issue.
Do you work for plaintiffs or defendants?
Both. We are retained for our independent technical opinion, and we tell counsel early if the evidence does not support their position.
Is the initial consultation really free?
Yes. We offer a free consultation so counsel can describe the matter and learn whether our expertise is a good fit before any engagement.
