Expert Witness Services

The Natural Choice

If one could think up the ideal qualifications for a potential expert witness to testify in your small-arms related litigation, whether it concerns patented technology, historical trademarks in the firearms and ammunition industry, the accepted-in-the-trade definition of contractual terms, or published prior art of arms and ammunition designs, perhaps what would first come to mind is to find a recognized expert in small arms design and history? All the better if that expert were the author of the accepted authoritative source on the history and design of the most influential and widespread firearms design of the past seven decades.

What if on top of all this deep and unique expertise in small arms and ammunition - not to mention a powerful passion for the subject as a hobby completely outside of work - that expert were also trained and uniquely experienced in areas of law like intellectual property, government contracts, administrative regulation, and federal procurement? That would most likely help as well.

If this description sounds like someone you would like to retain, then you are not only in good company, but in that company with you are small arms firms that are happy and victorious, thanks to their smart decision to take advantage of the authoritative and effective expert work of Joseph Putnam Evans.
