For over 30 years, ASA has worked with law firms and attorneys referring experts in connection with litigation.

Often, these experts act only as consultants in the initial stages of a litigation.  As this litigation proceeds, they sometimes become expert witnesses and are called upon to testify in depositions, arbitrations, and trials.

ASA is comfortable working with the time pressures that accompany litigation.  We are used to deadlines for expert designations, impending inspections, medical examinations, and the like.  We are also familiar with existing constraints on experts; for example, limitations in the California Code of Civil Procedure on the distance a plaintiff need travel for an independent medical examination.

Some of the types of litigation on which our experts are referred include the following:

Patent Infringement and Intellectual Property
These cases can involve complex technical questions requiring the expert opinions of, for example, electrical engineers or mechanical engineers.

Premises and Product Liability

Construction Litigation
Our many construction experts have been useful in these often protracted and intricate lawsuits.

Personal Injury and Wrongful Death
These cases frequently involve wrenching physical injuries requiring everything from medical expertise to accident reconstruction experts.

Business and Real Estate Litigation
Contract disputes, transactional work, legal actions over real property, and general business litigation can require experts in business, law, accounting, economics, and other fields.

Professional Malpractice
Malpractice litigation pertaining to lawyers, doctors, and others often necessitates professional expert opinions to sort out case facts accurately.

ASA has worked with large and small firms, defense and plaintiff attorneys, attorneys for governmental agencies and municipalities, and corporate counsel.
