How To Use This Directory

The San Diego County Directory of Expert Witnesses and Consultants has five main areas for locating legal experts, consultants, and services. Each area is further divided into categories of expertise. You will want to thoroughly review all available categories and sub-categories to find the appropriate expert or consultant:

h Litigation/Legal Services Listings: These trial support services may include Document Services, Personnel, Paralegals, Process Servers, Parliamentary Procedure, Computer, and other legal support professionals.

h Expert Witness Referral Services Listings: Find organizations with banks of experts and consultants in broad categories of expertise.

h Lawyer-to-Lawyer (L2L) Consultants Network Listings:

Lawyers who hold themselves competent and available for consultation can be located in their respective practice areas of law. This section is intended to offer practitioners a source for finding professional advice and outsourcing in unfamiliar areas of law.

h Dispute Resolution Professionals Listings: Find Arbitrators, Mediators, Private Judges, Family Law Specialists, Special Masters, Settlement Officers, and other auxiliary dispute resolution service providers in a specific area of dispute.

h Expert Witnesses and Consultants Listings: Expert Witnesses and Consultants is the largest area of the book, and categories of expertise may be indexed in multiple ways. Please review the category index thoroughly. For example, if you are looking for an electrical expert, you might look under any or all of these selections:

• Accident Prevention/Safety: Electrical

• Accident Reconstruction: Electrical

• Electrical

• Construction: Electrical

• Engineering: Electrical

Individual and organizational indexes appear in alphabetical order at the back of the directory.

The Better Way To Gain More Clients

The San Diego County Bar Association’s Lawyer Referral and Information Service (LRIS) helped participating attorneys gain just under 59,000 qualified clients in 2022, resulting in nearly six million dollars in legal fees earned.

With results like these, LRIS can offer you the most cost-effective way to gain high-quality clients, hands down. The cost is much lower than other marketing methods, including advertising, SEO, listing/rating services, you name it (lower still with the highly discounted LRIS enrollment

fee offered to SDCBA members — your membership will immediately pay for itself).

The public trusts LRIS as the reliable way to get connected with qualified attorneys. Lawyers trust LRIS too, because we carefully pre-screen potential clients to ensure we only send you referrals that match well with your practice area.

Best of all, by participating in LRIS, you will be helping clients access quality legal services they wouldn’t find otherwise — a true win-win.

Negotiation When Arbitration/ Mediation Fails:

Stefano Riznyk is a highly-skilled negotiator who trains other lawyers nationwide and has received outstanding reviews in the courses. When mediation fails, but your client wants to avoid making the matter public, negotiation is the best resource. A sophisticated tool that resolves issues through a complex understanding of human nature, invisible agendas, and how the business works, it can be the most powerful tool in your repertoire.

Stefano has resolved extortion, career destruction, boardroom issues, and even an international kidnapping, with ‘no’ money changing hands. Representing political figures, entertainment celebrities, and even Fortune 500 presidents, he has been able to resolve what could not be accomplished with litigation. Relationships are often mended, and situations renormalized in ways that litigation and mediation cannot accomplish. He offers 34 years’ experience as a business litigator and employment lawyer, as well as an immigration attorney who deals with foreign investors.

Consulting/Expert Witness Experience: I have been providing Design/Build Landscape Construction Services for San Diego County for over 40 years. That firsthand knowledge through construction experience and continued education is what I draw to for my opinions as an Expert Witness. In 2010 I started providing Expert Witness Services for multiple cases regarding the San Diego County Wildfires of 2007, and had also worked on the Wildfire cases of 2003 for a local nursery in Poway. Since then, I have reviewed and worked on cases for construction defect and personal injury within the landscape throughout California, as well as in Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Florida, Michigan, and New York.

EXPERT WITNESS AND CONSULTANTS 83

William Dillin MD

The concepts of evidence-based medicine have been the cornerstone of Dr. Dillin’s education during his spine surgery fellowship in Neurosurgery and Orthopaedic Surgery and the format for decision making in his subsequent practice.

The critical analytic features inherent in the ‘best evidence’ approach to patients have permeated his writing and his lectures, allowing flexible adaptation as the science has changed. Since July 1985, Dr. Dillin has been exclusively devoted to clinical spine, interventional spine and spine surgery practice. The combination of clinical critical thinking in conjunction with evidence-based medicine practice, allows spine specialty focus on any Independent Medical Evaluations or Medical-Legal Reviews.

He is in clinical practice performing spine surgery, spine interventions and evaluating patients with spine conditions. He is licensed in California, Texas, Arizona, Florida and Nevada. Dr. Dillin was a former partner at the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic and was an associate of the Cedars-Sinai Kerlan-Jobe Institute.
