Start Biometrics Expert Search
Biometrics expert witness candidates typically have expertise in information security, biometrics, computer engineering, and/or computer science. It can be helpful for a biometrics expert to have a background in forensic science also. It is essential that an expert witness possess the ability to provide testimony in a manner whereby a jury and judge can understand scientific evidence as well as forensic evidence. An expert witness must also be prepared to withstand the scrutiny of a cross-examination. In high profile cases, or litigation involving a significant financial stake, previous expert witness testimony experience is often a requirement.
Biometrics refers to human body measurements and calculations. Biometric authentication is often used for identification and access control. Examples of biometric features include fingerprint identification, face recognition, DNA, palmprints, and iris recognition. Representative litigation matters requiring biometrics expert witness work involve issues pertaining to patent infringement, trade secret disputes, identity theft and fraud. Expert witness services could include a review of the evidence and technology, a crime scene investigation, expert report preparation, depositions, and/or courtroom testimony. In addition, the lead counsel may seek a biometrics specialist, forensic scientist, or security expert for pre-litigation consulting work. Cahn Litigation Services has many years of experience in identifying biometrics expert witnesses. History has shown that the firm has the experience required to turn an expert witness search around quickly.
