Expert Witness Response E-007922
I work on a lot of product cases that involve the cause of fires usually having to do with electronics. This includes computers and batteries. I have extensively studied similar investigations, including evidence collection and preservation. I have testified as an expert witness on the origin and cause of fires in both criminal and civil trials.
