Why do the attorneys use expert testimony?
An expert witness is a person who has undergone a special kind of education or training in a specific area that a common person does not possess. In order to be considered an expert in an area, that person must have been active in the area for at least ten years. Due to that knowledge, an expert witness is a very credible source of information for court decisions and provides crucial information that could not have been given by any other person.
