Funny Answer for Request on Information for an Expert
In a recent conversation:
Question: Does anyone have any information on expert _______?
Answer: You are in trouble. ______ is formidable. I have used the expert myself on several occasions. The expert is well qualified, very articulate, makes a very good witness, quick on his/her feet, and is married to a judge. Good luck.
Ouch. Just goes to show that both sides can have good witnesses.
I've given this feedback on our CA trial lawyer listservers more than once. It's best to know what your getting into or how good the other side's expert is before starting your cross in front of a jury. When this happens, I normally focus my attention to money/retention issues so the jury can appreciate how much money these really good experts are paid for their testimony. Keep up the good work!
