If you are looking for the premier pool expert, look no further."
“I retained Scott Cohen as an expert witness in a construction defect matter. Scott was very knowledgable and thorough; he was able to pinpoint issues that other experts had missed prior to his retention. Scott helped to prepare the technical questions for the opposing side’s deposition, and made a presentation in mediation that was instrumental in resolution. I would definitely hire Scott in the future”

I have no doubt that you would have made a phenomenal trial witness had we gotten that far. Your attention to detail and pleasant demeanor would have been well received in court and would have probably had the defense begging for mercy! Looking forward to our next case together soon!”
