Countering plaintiff’s defect theory, rebutting general or specific medical causation, or evaluating a claimed element of damages? The assistance of several experts will likely be required. As a defense attorney, you find yourself tasked with quickly, efficiently and effectively locating an expert. The person you are looking for must not only have precisely the education and experience necessary, but must also be willing and available to serve as an expert and be skilled at simplifying complex concepts and communicating them in an effective and winning way. In sum, the expert ou must find must not only be knowledgeable, but likeable and capable of easily transferring his knowledge.
