How Qualified is Your Expert? Dealing With Expert Testimony
Whether you are handling a basic auto tort, a medical malpractice case, or a complex business valuation dispute, careful presentation of your expert - or discrediting your opponent's expert - is critical to your case.

In Daubert, the courts tightened their acceptance of the expert as an authority. As a result, qualification of the expert continues to be a very critical stage of any case and the process of presenting and challenging the qualifications of an expert can become almost a mini-trial.

Our panel of experienced attorneys will provide insights about using experts at different stages of trial. Hear about how to prepare your expert for a deposition, deciding whether to depose the opponent's expert, how to discredit your opponent's expert, and what to do after depositions have been taken.
