Testimony

"If the law has made you a witness, remain a man of science; you have no victim to avenge or guilty or innocent person to ruin or save.  You must bear testimony within the limits of science."

Dr. P.D.H. Brousardel

After the completion of the reviews or examinations, our efforts are not complete.  With each case we recognize the potential of court room testimony.  The staff of FCA realizes we are more than just experts, we are educators.  We place a strong emphasis on providing sufficient background information to allow the jury to make an educated decision.

There is more to testimony than just reciting ones opinion.  We believe our opinions can be best supplanted through the use of demonstrative aids, such as photographs, diagrams and models.  Whenever possible we suggest what aids would be of use and prepare them for our appearance.

We do not charge "court fees", rather our court appearance charges are the same as our examination fees.  We are compensated for our time, not our opinion.

Before any member of FCA takes the stand we want the attorney to fully understand the opinion and its relation to the overall case.  We appear to testify as to the results of our processes in an impartial manner.  We use or experience in court to provide the attorney with the best means of presenting the material in a manner that conveys the best understanding to the judge or jury.
