@Humpleupagus i was thinking of you the other day. I got retained as an expert witness by an attorney who's client is facing a lien from a contractor.

He wants you to testify as to the quality of the workmanship and whether it met code / specs? (I'm assuming he counterclaimed for breach of contract, constructing defects, etc.)

Currently the contractor has a lien on customer property for 35k. (insurance clame) and my job is to get the lien thrown out and tell the contractor to fuck off.
I got the department of labor and industry to open an investigation so far so I'm pushing for throwing out the lien.
The contractor didn't actually provide a contract and in my state lien claims need to be pre signed by the home owner.
Plus i caught him on some grey labor for building permits and hiring non licensed subs
I couldn't file the actual complaint so i met with the homeowner and just did it on his phone.

I just don't know why that requires expert witness work. I can discover whether some sub was licensed or not and help prepare CSLB complaints.
Quality of workmanship at trial obviously requires an expert.
Either way, I hope you're getting paid. If you do good enough, hell... maybe you could retire into expert witness work.

It's actually really bad here in California. The good ones have retired or fled the state. It's actually hard finding anyone reliable.
