We have appeared as an expert witness on behalf of both plaintiffs and defendants many times for nearly 30 years. We have been qualified in many District and Circuit Courts, as well as Federal Courts, and have never been disqualified. We have extensive references, lists of cases and attorneys available, as well as sample complex reports and plan reviews. We have appeared for builders at licensing hearings, conducted draw request inspections, negotiated for building and business owners with building officials, fire officials and prosecutors, prepared maintenance forecasts, critiqued multi-million dollar renovations, as well as represented many homeowners in building code and workmanship claims.

Thank you for your consideration
Can you see the design and construction defect in the home above? Hint: The steel lintel is not continuous under the arch. So what is carrying the masonry above the window, through the base of the arch?
The parapet is in place as a fire break between buildings at the property line. Other than obviously poor flashing at the chimney, do you see the problem?
