CONSULTING SERVICES
Attorney’s Consultant
Cases involving residential construction can be complex, demanding specialized expertise and often an expert witness who is a local, credible authority. You’ve come to the right place to find such a nuanced but invaluable resource with Michael Spreckelmeier.
What is an Attorney’s Consultant?
An Attorney’s Consultant is an industry veteran capable of providing highly specialized information necessary for your case, and when necessary appear as an expert witness. Effective Attorney’s Consultants are knowledgeable, credible, and capable of communicating their experience and expertise in a straightforward manner.
How Can A Qualified Attorney’s Consultant Help You?
Residential construction cases are as varied as your clients, so you’ll need a trusted, reliable, and eminently qualified local expert with direct knowledge of everything related to the lawsuit. Your exact needs will be contingent on the dynamics of your case, of course, but in general a useful Attorney’s Consultant can support your work in numerous ways, including:
-
Building code, permits, and other municipal legal reviews
-
Industry standard benchmarking and comparisons
-
Damage assessments and accountability determinations
-
Quality control oversights and other detailed examinations
When to Hire an Attorney’s Consultant, and What to Look For
The simplest and best answer is “As soon as possible.” That’s because a powerful case is an informed case, and an informed case is best from the very beginning. By hiring a qualified Attorney’s Consultant early on, you’ll have a strategic wingman to best structure your case, and substantiate your assertions and objections with the best information available. Don’t wait.
Two factors come into play when vetting the right candidate for your case: First, you’ll need a proven construction industry expert to evaluate your case through the lens of established industry standards and the nuances of what went wrong. Secondly, you’ll need this expert to be local to ensure their expertise is precisely aligned with the specific bureaucratic and quality control details of where the problems occurred.
In addition to knowledge and geography, an effective Attorney’s Consult needs personality. That’s a much more subjective and therefore difficult metric to assess, but is equally important -- especially if calling on them as an expert witness. The most experienced and smartest consultant can still drop the ball for you if they can’t clearly and compellingly articulate their expertise. So ensure you vet them based on their charisma and communication skills, too.
