Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a consulting and a testifying expert?
A consulting expert advises counsel privately and is generally protected from discovery; a testifying expert is disclosed and provides opinions on the record. We can serve in either role.
When should we bring you in?
As early as possible. Technical input before discovery usually saves time and cost later.
Do you handle insurance subrogation matters?
Yes. We assist insurers and their counsel in determining whether a material or product failure was the root cause of a loss.
