Who we are
ExpertsDirect is an exciting, unique, growing business.
We match lawyers with the best expert witnesses.
ExpertsDirect has now been operating for 10+ years, we were founded to disrupt and subsequently streamline the process of sourcing expert witnesses for litigation cases. We understand the value a highly qualified expert can bring to a case.
The experts we work with are at the top of their game. Their training, study or experience qualifies them to give their independent opinion about the facts of a case to reach the best outcome.
