My Services
| It occurs to me that questions
might arise as to the need for engaging an expert. I have therefore set forth those
services which I provide which enhance your client's potential for recovery.
Actually the term "expert" is simplistic and not sufficiently inclusive.
The more appropriate term is Litigation Consultant and Expert. |
I......
 | Evaluate:
 | the merits of the action.
This evaluation is performed gratis, prior to accepting participation in the case.
A verbal discussion of the merits of the case is then provided. In the event
the case is one which I cannot support, it's better you find out at this juncture; |
| the merits of the opposition's
position; |
| relevant case law. |
|
| Investigate:
| the site to discover:
 | the cause(s) of the accident;
|
| code violations relevant to the
accident; |
| extant conditions which might
have contributed to the accident; |
|
| articles, if any addressing
similar problems; |
| relevant case law. |
|
| Educate:
| your partners and associates:
| in the scientific and technical
issues; |
| about issues concerning industry
practices; |
| about industry terminology; |
| company losses. |
|
| the jury;
| in the technical aspects of the
case; |
| sufficiently to accept my
explanation of the technical facts; |
| in the validity of your position |
|
|
| Analyze:
| the opposition's position for
flaws; |
| depositions and interrogatories; |
| discovery items; |
|
| Project:
| and provide refutation of, the
opposition's arguments; |
|
| Locate:
| other experts which might
contribute to your client's position; |
| other responsible parties not
currently named in your client's action. |
|
| Write:
| an authoritative opinion of the
causation of, and parties responsible for, the accident; |
| questions for the deposition of
the opposition's expert and for parties having knowledge of the accident or site. |
|
| Testify:
| at depositions; |
| at ADR hearings; |
| at trial. |
|
| Create:
| exhibits which portray various
technical aspects of the case for the edification of the jury; |
| strategies to refute the opposition's arguments. |
|
Given all of these services, which a good consultant places
at the attorney's beck and call, it's understandable that Robert C. Strodel made the
following statement in Trial magazine: "For an
attorney to go into court without an expert waiting in the wings is legal
malpractice."
