More on the sample cases

 

If you are a busy attorney looking for an expert witness, you don’t want a law review, I’m sure, on each case I have mentioned.  You want me to answer these questions:

 

1.     On what issues have I testified in court? What issues especially interest me?

2.     Does my testimony influence court decisions?  It is sufficiently impressive that courts quote it even when they disagree with it?  Do they mention me by name?

3.     Does my testimony worry attorneys on the other side?

4.     When attorneys on the other side attempt to confuse, upset, and discredit me on the stand, do I still testify effectively?

5.     Do attorneys who engage me as expert witness like what they get?

 

Apart from a few items of special interest, I will focus tightly on

those questions. I will be unable, consequently, to acknowledge properly the contributions in the sample cases of most other 

expert witnesses. For details on some of them, see books and articles that I mention as I go along, which also discuss the 

strategies of several outstanding attorneys with whom I’ve 

worked.
