Expert Opinion & Testimony

In the complex world in which we all live, disputes are often centered on technical fact and opinion. This is particularly true for geo-environmental engineering and science where the technical facts may be imprecise. In such situations, scientifically supportable, ethical, and experienced judgments are required to help resolve disputes whether in formal court proceeding or, where possible, without going to trial.

GZA GeoEnvironmental, Inc. provides expert opinion and when required, testimony services to a diverse client group including, but not necessarily limited to, lawyers, public agencies, insurance companies, manufacturers, as well as companies in the power, consulting and construction industries. We help clients in many ways; providing technical input for case evaluation and development, defense strategies and interpretation of historical data. In deposition and at trial, GZA is known for it’s pragmatic approach to simplifying and effectively presenting complex technical issues in ways that non-technical judges and juries will readily understand. This is achieved both orally and with effective graphics which is almost always key to the understanding of technical issues by individuals untrained in geotechnical and environmental principles.

GZA understands that expert opinions rendered during discovery, in deposition and at trial must be technically correct and supportable to withstand what is often intense legal scrutiny by opposing attorneys and experts, especially when cases are not resolved prior to the start of trial. Our services are directed by senior technical staff, usually a firm Principal, with years of experience in the subject area. Such experts remain intimately involved in the details of cases and it is these senior individuals who provide testimony as required.

GZA is prepared to assist you when such needs arise whether as a defendant or plaintiff in a geotechnical or environmental dispute.
