Expert Services & Litigation Support
Aries provides expert testimony and litigation support to our clients when there are differences of opinion that require mediation or litigation. We have successfully provided expert witness and consulting expert services to both plaintiff’s and defendant's legal counsel for insurance companies, state agencies, private corporations, municipalities, and federal agencies. Aries is respected by state and federal environmental agencies, as well as our peers for using science to help solve disagreements.
Aries relies on scientific and factual information and unbiased data analysis to assist our clients and their counsel. Aries’ analysis may be coupled with evaluations of probable outcomes to test the magnitude of the issue providing a basis for negotiation for our clients and their counsel during mediation or litigation.
