Should you hire an expert witness? The easy answer here is yes! Hire the expert witness. Expert witnesses bring great value to the table. They pack that extra punch – the facts, the research, and the knowledge only possessed by a true subject matter expert. Expert witnesses have valuable insight that you won’t find anywhere else, and with their testimony, you are more likely to settle your case quickly. In fact, out of all the evidence that can be presented, expert testimony is among the most powerful. It is informative and accurate — and can go a long way in educating a judge or jury on a particular matter.
Expert Witnesses Are Objective
Your expert witness should be objective and impartial. It is important that you vet your expert thoroughly. You want to stay away from “hired guns” who will say anything to get paid and, under scrutiny, cause your case to lose strength. A high-caliber expert witness is someone who will present in a clear and easy-to-understand way and showcase their professionalism.
Expert Testimony Is Valuable
I often ask my clients this question: Do you want the closest expert, or do you want the best expert? They may not be one and the same. Cases have been lost due to attorney and client frugality.
