Expert Witness Service
Do you have a case involving physical violence? We offer an analysis of security recordings to create a time-line of events. We can articulate what was occurring, the significance of actions and how they resulted in counter-actions leading to violence.

Understanding Physical Violence
As attorneys, you deal with the repercussions of physical violence all the time. When it comes to violence, 'self-defense' is perhaps a more popular claim than SODDI (Some Other Dude Did It).
But how do you know when it was or wasn't self-defense?
Most attorneys don't have first-hand experience with physical violence. They do not understand the physical, psychological and adrenal (chemical) changes that the human body undergoes before, during and after violence. These perceptual changes will make it seem like someone is lying.
For example how could someone not hear the shots he was firing? (it's called auditory exclusion). How could someone see the attacker looming over him or her when the security video shows the person ten feet away? (it's called spatial distortion). What are the conditions that change a regular fist-fight to an immediate threat of death or grave bodily injury? Those circumstances can change in an instant.
Whether you are a defense attorney or a prosecutor, you will never look at physical violence the same way after this four hour lecture.
