Consumer Fraud Expert Witnesses

Start Consumer Fraud Expert Search

Consumer fraud expert witness candidates typically have expertise in forensic accounting, computer science, and/or consumer protection law. For certain cases, clients may request a certified fraud examiner, which is an individual that has been tested and has knowledge in the primary areas of fraud examination: financial transactions and fraud schemes, law, investigation, and fraud prevention and deterrence. In high-profile cases, or litigation involving a significant financial stake, a law firm may require a professional with prior expert witness experience. A consumer fraud expert witness needs to possess the ability to explain evidence to a judge and jury.

Consumer fraud comes in all shapes and sizes. In most cases, the motivation of fraud is for monetary gain. Fraud can violate civil law or criminal law. The Federal Trade Commission’s Bureau of Consumer Protection aims to stop deceptive and fraudulent business practices. The organization collects reports from consumers, conducts investigations, litigates, and educates consumers. Examples of consumer fraud include:

• Identity theft (i.e., banking fraud),
• Mortgage fraud (intentional misrepresentation or omission of information),
• Credit card fraud dispute,
• Deceptive interest rate reduction robocalls,
• Fake charities,
• False advertising,
• Prize and lottery fraud,
• Debt collection fraud, and
• COVID-19 scams.

Litigation support by a consumer fraud expert witness could include contract review, economic damage calculation, expert report preparation, expert opinion, expert testimony, and/or testimony in court. In addition, clients often seek a consulting expert for pre-litigation work.
