Expert Witness Services | MRichardsConsulting.com
If you want to have a successful court case, it’s important to have a team that will help your case. The right lawyer can provide an excellent advantage in a court cast, but in some circumstances, utilizing an expert witness services can really help your case. Broadly speaking, there are two types of expert witnesses; consulting & testifying.

The testifying expert witness is given the job of objectively articulating a client’s position. It’s the testifying expert witness’ job also to present only facts to the judge, jury, or to arbitration to reach a proper decision on the issues faced in the case. The testifying expert witness is there to make a client’s position clear and factual for the court. This expert’s opinion is expressed free from influence of anyone else.

A consulting expert is an advisor or advocate for the litigators, and provides research and analysis. Consulting experts can comment on either side’s positions, pointing out strengths and weaknesses of both and depending on the case may be able to provide additional possible theories or analyses. They can be used to test theories, research alternative ideas, and reject possible theories that are least favorable. As an advisor, consulting experts can advise the lawyer team on different inquiries while still retaining case confidentiality.
