By definition, we are here to serve the court and counsel. We provide detailed investigations into many types of disputes. Our industry-recognized experts have provided testimony on numerous occasions in court, arbitration, mediation and deposition. We are experienced in gathering data in the field as well as presenting it in the courtroom, the special master's office or in settlement meetings.
The Forensic Department of CEL Consulting is ready to provide experienced, expert consultation and testing services for your claim, arbitration, mediation or lawsuit. Our experts can examine, test, evaluate, document and report almost any kind of structural, architectural or material failure.
We have helped many clients review, select and organize pertinent documents that relate to the claim at hand. We can help recreate the history of the project from contemporaneous logs, drawings, change orders and interviews of involved personnel. Our knowledgeable staff can review and highlight the significant statements in those endless depositions and legal documents.
We excel at providing comprehensive exhibits and competent, reliable testimony. Our staff has provided expert sworn testimony in depositions, arbitrations, and mediations and in municipal and superior courts. Our clients include defendants, plaintiffs and we have even testified as a rare percipient witness allowed to present expert opinions.
Our engineering education and experience allows for a wide range of disciplines under which we can qualify as an expert. Although the qualification for presenting expert testimony is ultimately the decision of the judge, arbitrator or special master, we have provided testimony in the architectural, civil engineering and structural engineering fields.
