ASA's reputation is built on the quality of its experts.

When you call ASA, you take advantage of our 30 years of research into and relationship building with experts in hundreds of fields -- university professors and business and industry professionals who work through ASA as independent contractors.

We know the backgrounds and past performance of these experts.  Often, we know them personally as associates and friends.  Many have consulted with ASA for years, in some cases exclusively.  Our familiarity with them permits ASA to refer them with confidence.

We carefully select which experts to be affiliated with, considering a range of criteria such as:

professional competence
academic and other credentials
standing in their respective fields
previous expert experience
communication abilities

ASA is not a "consultant listing service."  We don't provide lists of experts who pay us a fee to be included.  Lists are widely available through court records, expert witness guides, and the Internet, but provide no assurance of quality or suitability.

Instead, ASA offers a more personalized service, with each expert referral tailored to the requirements of our clients.  "Experts" are available everywhere; what ASA strives to provide is true expertise -- specialized knowledge, but knowledge that is pertinent to our client's needs.

ASA constantly devotes significant resources to expanding our expert base.

Capable new experts are drawn to ASA out of their own intellectual curiosity and by our long track record of successful referrals.  In turn, the caliber of these experts attracts top firms looking for sound expert advice.  This dynamic relationship has sustained ASA's unique service over its thirty-year history.
