Getting your clients the property insurance settlement they need and deserve is your ultimate goal as a 1st party attorney. Of course, you work tirelessly for them, helping to negotiate and, when necessary, litigate. Stephen Lippy, owner of our firm and an expert witness, can help prove the extent of the damage to your client’s property and share the appropriate cost to repair and/or replace. His testimony plays a critical role in winning your cases.

Of course, if you are unable to reach a settlement during the negotiation phase, you may need to move to litigation. At this point, presenting testimony from the right witness can make a considerable difference in the award your client receives.

As you know, there are two types of witnesses in litigation. Fact witnesses are those who may be involved in the proceedings or may have seen the event at issue.  Expert witnesses are individuals with a specific skill set, knowledge, training, education, or base of experience that is related to the case.
