Advice & Consultation
There are three important ways PEI assists in legal cases involving
technical engineering and construction related matters:
- Advice and consultation regarding technical issues,
- Assistance in examining technical data and cross examining
technical witnesses,
- Expert testimony on the technical matters involved.
Each of these services can only be effective when offered by people
who have the education and training, years of specific technical
experience, and knowledge of the fact. This allows the attorney
to make their best presentation possible.
The basis of any effective presentation is investigation. PEI’s
experts become so familiar with the facts of the case that nothing
the opposition can propose will come as a surprise. Our investigation
includes careful consideration of all aspects of the case through
field inspection and documentation, review of calculations and
written reports, examination of photographs and drawings, comparison
of specifications and codes.
There are always two sides to every controversy. Our obligation
to our clients is an objective approach that not only substantiates
our client’s claims but also recognizes opposing facts. These
opposing arguments are considered and rebuttals are prepared that
strengthen our technical presentation.
