Expert Witness
Lee Rigby and William Strawn are qualified to perform expert witness services for public, private and residential elevator related cases.
While performing expert witnessing for elevator related cases is not a primary service of Vertical Assessments, we do accept certain cases for either plaintiff or defense. Historically we have provided representation for our clients equally, regardless of their position in the case.
