Expert Witness work accounts for roughly 5 to 10% of our typical annual revenue.  This limited exposure to the legal system has given us enough practical experience to be an effective and credible expert witness without the taint of being deemed a Professional Expert.

Usually our attorney clients represent a defendant.  Probably this has to do with our reputation as competent equipment engineers.  Our long-term clientele are primary organizations and manufacturing companies that are more likely to be a defendant than a plaintiff.  Claims have ranged from partial disability injuries under $1M to construction claims as high as $75M.

Our general practice is focused on mechanical equipment and earthquake engineering but our senior staff also have considerable past experience in Architectural and Engineering (A&E) type Structural and Civil Engineering.  Thus we are qualified to render well-founded "Standard of Care" opinions related to private A&E practice without either defendant or plaintiff concern that we might have a competitor's bias.

Our experience includes both Federal and State courts.  Some cases have gone to jury trial; most have settled soon after we have been deposed or our attorney client has submitted our formal Expert Report.
