An Expert Witness will typically be summoned for the following reasons:

• The foundational issues or facts of the case are not clear
• The jury requires facts to reach a conclusion that is not easily attained
• The judge is not well-versed in the relevant concepts of the case

Expert Witnesses can play a wide variety of roles based on the particular needs of the case, and the specific objective for the expert testimony needs to be made clear. Expert witnesses can be utilized on the forefront of litigation via testimonies and/or utilized in a more discrete role by assisting in building the fact basis needed to effectively try or defend a case.
