Start Hard Drive Expert Search
Hard drive expert witness candidates typically have advanced degrees and expertise in electrical engineering, computer science, materials science, and/or hardware engineering. Cahn Litigation Services is called on by law firm clients to locate expert witnesses that can support matters involving hard drive technology.
A hard drive expert witness could provide expertise in intellectual property matters such as a patent litigation or a trade secret dispute. A computer forensics expert can determine if there is evidence to reveal intellectual property infringement or theft. Clients may also seek a hard disk subject matter expert for pre-litigation consulting work.
In a litigation support scenario, a technical expert can expect courtroom testimony, as well as other expert witness services such as depositions, expert opinion, expert testimony, a prior art search, an expert report, computer forensic analysis, claim charts, and related consulting activities. In high profile cases, or litigation involving a significant financial stake, previous expert witness experience is often a requirement. A hard drive expert witness must not only have the appropriate substantive expertise but should also possess the ability to explain electronic evidence and technology to lay people, including a judge and jury.
Whether the project involves digital forensics, an external hard drive, deleted files, hard drive data extraction or a disk image, Cahn Litigation Services has the experience required to turn a search around quickly. History has shown that the firm consistently provides experts with the perfect balance of expertise and testimony to support each specific project and its nuances.

Expert Witness #257007
This expert holds a PhD in Materials Science and Engineering and serves as Associate Professor of Materials Science and Electrical Engineering. This expert utilizes analytical and high-resolution electron microscopy for materials characterization in order to develop structure-property relationships. Areas of interest include magnetic thin films for data storage and advanced structural materials. Further increases in the areal density for magnetic data storage will require new materials that can decrease the size of individual magnetic grains in the thin films. To develop the processing methods for growing these nanometer size features demands materials characterization with atomic resolution.
