An expert’s job is to help you win your case, with
KNOWLEDGE and EXPERIENCE
and
PRESENTATION
There are two traits that make for an excellent expert witness. The first is that the expert must indeed be an expert, with deep knowledge and experience in his field. It is the second trait that smart attorneys treasure – presentation, that is the ability to communicate expert opinions to a jury.
In other words an excellent expert must be – an excellent expert and must be excellent at being an expert. Dan Jacobson is both.
