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. On behalf of a plaintiff or defendant, Cahn Litigation Services is regularly called upon by attorney clients to locate an expert witness that can provide support for a consumer fraud case. When an expert is needed to investigate and ultimately testify for a fraud investigation, Cahn Litigation Services will hone in on a testifying expert with precisely the right skills and experience to get the job done.

• Expert Witness #297462

  This materials engineering, polymer sciences, and corrosion expert holds a Ph.D., is a registered Canadian professional engineer, and has extensive experience in materials engineering, polymer sciences, corrosion, materials testing, and research and development. This expert has over 20 years of experience in chemical and materials engineering across markets including oil and gas, mining, petrochemicals, consumer goods, and military applications.

  This expert has experience in coolant chemistry and related root cause analysis involving backup generators, mining equipment, and diesel engines. That work has included reviewing coolant chemical analysis, coolant history, metal contamination, and additive packages in support of root cause failure analysis for diesel engines.

  While leading a materials sciences practice, this expert opined on a number of large matters and several smaller matters involving coolant chemistry, additive packages, and engine failure analysis. One matter involved an allegedly deficient or underdosed additive package used in engine coolant at an industrial facility. The analysis concluded that the package was likely deficient or underdosed, but not enough to cause rapid and widespread engine failure, where ongoing wear and tear indicated that the engines had already been damaged with high metal wear indicators before the alleged coolant issue.

  Another matter involved coolant containing an allegedly unstable or unsuitable additive package associated with rapid engine failures. After review of the coolant chemistry, the analysis concluded that the additive package was likely unsuitable for the end use and likely not acceptable to some engine manufacturers. Immersion testing also showed heavy staining, discoloration, and rapid corrosion of some alloys.

  This expert has also addressed smaller matters involving suspected fraud and engine contamination in recreational vehicle and automotive claims. This expert has testified in North America and abroad in both French and English.
