Expert Witness Factors to Consider (Part 1)
I have listed 5 factors to consider when hiring or being hired as an expert witness.
- Experience in the field
- Published work in national journals, trade publications or books.
- Speaking engagements at professional conferences or trade shows
- Quoted by the press
- Awards received
The importance of these factors can very from case to case and from attorney to attorney. However, in general the more professional accolades an individual has the more attractive they will be as an expert witness candidate.
