The definitive work on expert witnessing. 

The Comprehensive Forensic Services Manual contains over 400 examples with answers to the most vexing problems experts face, including:

  • how to best connect with and persuade a jury
  • premium fee-setting
  • billing and collection techniques
  • expert witness risk management
  • how to handle abuse by attorneys
  • how to maintain high ethical standards
  • bullet-proofing your CV and written reports
  • meeting challenges under Daubert
  • the limits of discovery and privilege, and
  • much, much more.

In the appendices the expert will find invaluable resources that aid in the "business" aspect of being an expert. These include

  • a compendium of expert witness referral organizations; 
  • a list of online and print directories; 
  • a list of legal journals and other publications; a list of key internet sites; 
  • a list of bar associations and other legal associations; 
  • model expert fee schedules; 
  • model fee agreements; 
  • model bills; 
  • a model consulting agreement; 
  • model marketing letters; and 
  • a fee survey which tells what other experts are charging for their time. 

The extensive chapter on Marketing a Forensic Practice is a treasure trove of proven, professional marketing techniques that work. A detailed index and table of contents make key information quick and easy to access and utilize.
