Steven B. Vinick speaks with Law360

In a recent interview with Law360, Joseph Greewald & Laake principal Steven B. Vinick shared his perspective of how to prepare an expert witness and ensure that their presence in court enhances your case versus causing harm. With a specific focus on expert witnesses in personal injury cases, this Law360 article outlines 5 ways to ensure an expert witness will be helpful in court: Make Sure You Know The Expert’s History, Give The Expert Everything, Be Aware of Everything The Expert Has Received or Sent, Ask Your Expert The Tough Questions and Treat Depositions Like Trial Testimony.

Steven Vinick says, “Playing the role of the opposing lawyer is one effective way to figure out how your expert will respond under pressure at trial.” He continues with, “If the expert is not consistent, they are going to look like they will say whatever the party wants them to say. Juries absolutely pick up on that.”
