Expert witness & court testimony
Property damage, scope and estimating — explained on the record.
Expert witness
Testimony on what the damage actually is
Property disputes turn on scope and pricing. Both are easier to decide when someone walks the room through them.
- File review — the estimates, photographs and reports already in the matter.
- Site inspection — the property looked at directly, where it is still there to see.
- Written opinion — scope, pricing and method, set out so it can be read and challenged.
- Deposition and trial — the same opinion, given under oath.
The questions this usually answers
What was damaged, what the repair actually takes, and whether an estimate fits the property it was written for.
Working with counsel
Send the file and the deadline. You get a straight read on what it supports before anything is written.
How it runs
From the file to the stand
Nothing is said on the stand that was not written down first.
The call
The matter, the property, and the dates already set.
The file
Estimates, photographs and reports, read in full.
The opinion
Written up: scope, pricing, method, and what supports each.
The record
Deposition or trial, giving that same opinion under oath.
Scope and price, under oath.
The written opinion and the testimony say the same thing. That is the point.
