Deposition &
Trial Preparation
It is difficult to overstate the importance of having a medical expert on a case who is articulate and capable of clearly explaining complicated ideas. Even the most qualified physician can easily become a liability if he/she cannot explain the issues so that the jury of non-medical professionals can comprehend.
In addition to being articulate, a successful medical expert must appear polite and calm at all times, regardless of what happens in the courtroom. Because we understand how crucial a medical expert witness can be, we offer deposition and trial preparation for our physicians to assist them in expressing their expert opinions to the best of their ability.
