Too many law firms
only consider hiring an expert witness when they’re certain his testimony will
prove an asset to their case in court. However, expert witnesses aren’t limited
to testifying before a judge and/or jury. It’s best for everyone involved in
financial litigation to call in an expert witness as soon as possible in advance
of a potential court date.
He’ll Find Overlooked Issues
With decades of
experience in finance, Michael F. Richards, financial
expert witness, can prove an integral component of your legal strategy.
Your firm doesn’t have to retain a witness to testify before anyone else;
instead, we can look over the facts of the case and point to issues you may
have overlooked that the other side may not miss. After your law firm spends
weeks or even months embroiled in the details of the case, a third party expert
is sometimes necessary to find these issues.
It Gives You Time to Prepare
A witness will help
you strategize a defense against any of these issues that may prove unfavorable
to your client. Since the other side will likely bring them up during
settlement negotiation or a trial, it’s best to expect the attack and to have
your defense ready to lessen or remove any effect these points will have for
your client.
Missing Components
An expert witness may
also help you find out that something’s missing in the documents associated
with the case — something that may help your strategy against the other side.
If the missing item is unfavorable to your client, it gives your firm time to
make it right and produce the missing information before it’s used against your
client during the negotiation or judgment.
Contact the office of
Michael F. Richards to learn more about how our expertise can assist in your
financial legal matter. Whether you represent a financial institution or a
group of individual, it’s best to know ahead of time which issues the other
side may rise in order to turn the verdict in their favor.
