What Kinds of Cases Might Surprisingly Benefit from a Financial Expert Witness?




Financial law cases involving banks and other creditors frequently call on the services of a third party financial expert witness to progress the case and help definitively reach a conclusion or settlement. However, banks and individuals involved in a case against banks are not the only entities to benefit from a financial expert witness. Have an expert witness on call whenever you deal with cases where financial matters play a prominent role in the proceedings, even if the case doesn’t seem to focus much on finance.

Real Estate

One of the most surprising but also most common types of cases that benefit from financial expert witness services are real estate cases. Michael F. Richards can testify or consult on behalf of a buyer, seller or even real estate agency when a contract is in dispute. He can also advise along the way, using similar cases as precedent that could give you a new outlook on the course of the case.

Collection

If you’re owed money, a financial witness can help you procure it based on the letter of the law and precedent in similar situations. Whether you represent a collection company, a business with an unpaid invoice or a landlord with renters behind on rent, we can help.

Fraud

Finances are often a part of fraud cases — particularly since finances are among the most common reasons behind perpetuating fraud to begin with. Michael F. Richards has the expertise you need to uncover fraud and pursue legal recompense.
Get in touch with the offices of Michael F. Richards and ask about the viability of having a financial expert witness testify or otherwise assist during the progression of your upcoming or current legal matter. It’s better to have an expert witness on retainer to be called on short notice than to discover too late that a witness would have made a big difference in the case.
