What qualifies someone to be an expert witness in use-of-force cases?

An expert witness must demonstrate specialized knowledge through experience, education, or training that goes beyond the average understanding of the subject. In use-of-force cases, qualifications often include years of law enforcement service, tactical training, and involvement in investigations or teaching related to force application. Courts rely on this expertise to interpret whether conduct met accepted standards.

How can expert witness services influence the outcome of a case?

A credible expert witness can clarify complex issues and provide the court with an unbiased, professional interpretation of police actions. Their analysis may validate or challenge claims about the appropriateness of force, policy compliance, or tactical decisions. Judges and juries often give considerable weight to expert testimony when it is well-supported and communicated.

What should law firms or agencies prepare before a consultation?

To make the most of an initial consultation, clients should gather all available documentation related to the incident or issue, including reports, policies, video footage, and timelines. This allows us to evaluate the matter thoroughly and offer a clear scope of how our expert witness services or consulting might apply.
