How to Find the Right Financial Expert
If you are looking to find a financial expert for your Family Court case, consider the following sources:
- Talk to other litigators who try similar types of cases.
- Review reporting services that comment on verdicts, rulings and comment on testimony of the experts.
- Read opinions of reported cases and identify the experts that testified credibly.
- Talk to judges not affiliated with your case and find out who they respect.
- Visit internet blogs and do internet searches.
- Contact associations and organizations and ask for experts in that field.
- Interview at least three candidates and ask if you were the judge or a juror “does this person make sense?’
- Then, make your final assessment.
