The Circle of Forensic Engineering Practice

Abstract

Today there is an increase of the so-called expert looking for easy money. These individuals control the cost by skipping the formalities of Discovery and scientific analysis by simply asking their clients, What do you want me to say? The practice can not be stopped by publishing position papers or complaining to state registration boards. But, the onslaught of these individuals can be stopped by professional forensic engineers following the full circle of our practice. The paper will discuss what is meant by that circle. That circle is the examination of every technical aspect of each case. If we technically analyze what the other technical positions are and prepare the client for what to expect, we will have traveled that circle, done our job, and hopefully served justice and the truth.
