A Construction Expert's Guide To Litigation Support:

This guide is intended to provide legal counsel with clarity in the process of case vetting and management … from an expert’s point of view.

Schedule Your Initial Consultation

  • The purpose of the initial telephone consultation is for the expert and the lawyer to evaluate whether the expert candidate is sufficiently qualified to testify on the issues of the case at hand. There is ordinarily no charge for an initial telephone consultation with our office, as 30 minutes is customarily allotted without any charge.
  • Should you wish to discuss the substantive issues of your case in detail, whereby we are “working the case” beyond 30 minutes and providing technical, discovery and strategic advice, the consultation is subject to an hourly charge payable via credit card. You may also retain our services via credit card, and thereby formally designate our expert(s) to the court.
  • In furtherance of retainer, telephone consultation(s), photograph and/or document review, please call our office to discuss the case issues and how much time you wish to purchase. Fifteen (15) minute increments will apply.
