REAL ESTATE EXPERT WITNESS SERVICES
What is an Expert Witness?
An expert
witness or professional witness is
a witness,
who by virtue of education,
training, skill,
or experience,
is believed to have expertise and
specialized knowledge in
a particular subject beyond that of the average person, sufficient
that others may officially (and legally) rely upon the witness's
specialized (scientific,
technical or other) opinion about
an evidence or fact issue
within the scope of their expertise, referred to as the expert
opinion, as an assistance to
the fact-finder.
Expert witnesses may also deliver expert evidence about facts
from the domain of their expertise. At times, their testimony may
be rebutted with a learned
treatise, sometimes to
the detriment of their
reputations.
