LITIGATION SUPPORT
Expert Witness
Expert witness services for welding, NDT, materials, and inspection disputes. Case evaluation, technical analysis, expert reports, deposition and trial testimony. Our inspectors are qualified to testify because their day job is producing the records that get subpoenaed.
WHAT WE DO
Capabilities under Expert Witness
- 01
Case evaluation and analysis
Review of evidence, reports, drawings, and applicable industry standards. Plain-English assessment of where the disputed work meets the standard and where it does not.
- 02
Expert reports
Reports written to the form courts and arbitrators expect. Specific code citations, photographic evidence, and reasoning that survives cross-examination.
- 03
Deposition and trial testimony
Clear, confident, fact-based testimony in depositions and courtrooms. We are the inspectors who wrote the reports, not consultants reading them for the first time on the stand.
- 04
Litigation support
Strategy support during discovery. Identification of records, witnesses, and physical evidence that should be preserved or sought. Cross-examination preparation for opposing experts.
