Expert Testimony from the Acclaimed Expert
In addition to his legal acumen and experience in all areas of the law relating to small arms trade and development, Joe - as the author of the first and preeminent scholarly work on the design history of the AR platform of rifles - also happens to be the recognized authority on the invention and development of the family of small arms designs that include both the most popular and commonly-owned civilian sporting firearm in America, and the fully-automatic military service rifle fielded by the most nations - including the United States - in the history of standardized military small arms.
Therefore, if your outfit finds itself in litigation concerning patents or other intellectual property related to any component of the AR-10/AR-15/M16/M4 family of small arms, retaining as an expert witness quite literally “the guy who wrote the book on it,” can be for you - as it already has proven for others - the factor that brings decisive victory in litigation.
