Reviews

The author provides the technical specialist with all of the information, both technical and legal, necessary to build a highly paid, recession-proof practice in the exciting field of forensic engineering. The book describes the nature and techniques of friendly and hostile attorneys; takes the reader through the investigation and litigation processes step by step; and describes problems and pitfalls in communicating with lawyers, judges, and juries, telling how to communicate effectively. Finally, the book shows in detail how to start and develop a successful practice as an expert witness.
