Expert Witnesses usually have good advice. And any expert witness who has ever worked with a law firm client, always has some advice on how the working relationship could have been better, or so I have observed over years of conversations with expert witnesses.

Recently, while reading about an ABA seminar called "10 Ways that Attorneys Kill Their Own Experts" it occurred to me that it might be great for experts if we, as an industry, could share the wisdom of the industry with each other.

Ever suddenly have a deadline moved up? Or maybe your client didn't get you all the evidence in a timely matter? Or had your report ignored? Or stiffed you on an invoice? How did you deal with it, and more importantly, how have you learned to avoid these pitfalls?

Maybe you have a list of the 'Three most important things to tell a new lawyer" before they start working with an expert witness?

Lets hear your advice on the best practices for successfully working with lawyers. We will post the replies here, where expert witnesses new to the field, and seasoned veterans alike, can benefit from them.

I look forward to your input, and sharing that wisdom widely.
