Expert Witness

An expert witness should exemplify two qualities: 1) the capacity to understand specialist facts, issues and techniques, and 2) the ability to explain these in a straight-forward yet compelling manner. Analysts from AFENTIS FORENSICS excel in both qualities.

Our expert witness opinions are balanced, thorough, clear and easy to understand – in a word, they are persuasive. Whether a matter is privately funded or supported via Legal Aid, we handle cross-examination in court with poise because we understand the issues and we have the experience and expertise to backup what we say.

Our expert witness analysts are regularly instructed in the most high profile and sensitive cases, acting as expert witnesses, trial consultants, single joint experts (SJE) in legal matters ranging: from terrorism to computer evidence, firearms to telecommunication forensics. As independent specialists we have worked on behalf of private individuals, corporations, and with advocates representing respondents or defendants.

Expert Witness

Our forensic investigators and expert witness consultants also contribute to a number of leading working groups as well as undertaking constant research into these spheres, to ensure our approaches to handling evidence remain in touch with Best Practice.

With our extensive experience in the criminal and civil arena, we understand the legal process and we appreciate what legal teams need. At the same time, we fiercely protect our credibility, which is good for the case of the clients whose solicitors instruct us. We are not afraid to tell the client and their advocates/barristers where their case is weak, unsupported, or simply lacking in merit. However, where there is merit and good cause in a client’s case, we can deliver a riveting and convincing expert witness opinion that allows the court and jury to make the right decision with confidence.

The synergy between our incisive expert opinions and the attorneys’ legal strategies typically results in larger and speedier settlements, as well as more favourable resolutions and judgments in trial situations.

As LAW SOCIETY / SWEET & MAXWELL registered and approved expert witnesses, our investigations and expert reports are regulated and the depth of expertise assured through independent verification.
