Questions
Before the record is sent.
When should defense counsel bring an expert in?
Before discovery closes when possible: early review identifies what records should exist and do not, while there is still time to demand them.
What does retention cost?
A non-refundable retainer of $8,000–$9,000 covering 29–33 hours of discovery review, report writing and conferences at $275 per hour. Most reports are completed within the retainer. The full published schedule is on the For Counsel page.
