Consulting or testifying
Adam can work behind the scenes as a consulting expert to help you understand the pest evidence, shape discovery, and evaluate the opposing expert. If the case calls for it, he can then be designated to testify. Early involvement usually produces better evidence, because infestation conditions change quickly once treatment begins.
