Experts
Locating, vetting, preparing, and defending against experts and consultants is a regular part of many legal practices in California, especially for litigators. In addition to basic identification of an expert and his or her qualifications, lawyers often want additional information, such as the number of times the expert has testified and the content of any previous testimony (both deposition and trial). These directories help lawyers to find the experts and information they want quickly and inexpensively.
