Custom Forensic Solutions

Our mission is to investigate, solve, and explain the most challenging engineering and scientific problems.

McDowell Owens has extensive resources that allow us to provide a custom forensic solution for every assignment. We evaluate the available evidence and apply scientific methods, specialized knowledge, and the latest analytical technologies to reach scientifically sound solutions for our clients.

When performing forensic analysis, our team thoroughly investigates the issues, from taking data at the scene to analyzing drawings, material specifications, supporting documentation, and conducting tests.

We produce reports that are clear, concise, accurate, and comprehensive.

Expert Witness Services

McDowell Owens team of highly credentialed experts has a proven track record of success in helping audiences understand the value and strength of our findings.

We present the facts based on solid science. The science is vital, of course, but it doesn’t mean much without the ability to make it understood and put in its proper context to tell the true story of what happened.

Communication is the key to favorable case outcomes in both pre-trial settlements and verdicts. The experts at McDowell Owens have a firm grasp of Frye and Daubert standards and possess the ability to take complex concepts and turn them into easily understood principles for all to understand. We ensure that the judges and juries fully understand the technical and scientific information from your case, leaving them with a clear picture and convincing evidence.
