Real estate expert los angeles

In legal cases that deal with property and real estate, there is the task of evaluating and valuing property by a real estate expert Los Angeles, who possesses expertise and mastery in the field of real estate.

While there are expert witnesses in many different fields, they must possess the education, training, skill, and/or experience necessary to be able to be considered an expert in a specific field. Expert witnesses will often find their work being challenged and put under scrutiny, in which being discredited could make a big impact on an expert’s credibility. The role of an expert witness is very serious as their knowledge is needed in order for a judge and jury to be able to make sense of any technical jargon to make a judgment call.

The use of expert witness testimony in courts of law can be traced back to England in 1782, when a court hearing at the time required evidence from a leading engineer. There was an issue with the Wells harbor silting up, and with evidence from an experienced and trusted civil engineer, the court accepted the expert testimony as evidence. The court decision made to accept expert evidence has paved the way for the modern conventions in which expert witness testimony is accepted today.

A more recent case that involved the use of expert witnesses was the case of John Bodkin Adams, who was a general practitioner and suspected serial killer. This case was especially unique as it required the act of murder to be proved by expert evidence. As the suspect was a doctor, the methods in which he used his practice had to be examined by other trusted medical professionals who would either agree or disagree with his methods in order to decide whether or not it could be said that he was maliciously killing his patients. With different accounts of expert testimony, Adams was found not guilty in the deaths of his patients.

Expert witness testimony can be crucial in determining the verdict of a court case and so making sure to choose somebody who is well versed, educated, and experienced in their field to represent your interests in your case. An expert witness can provide important insight into technical information and break it down for the average person on the jury to understand exactly what is going on and what is at stake.
