Litigation Support

At Dr. John McGowan LLC, litigation support means more than testimony in the courtroom. We provide attorneys with a full range of services throughout the life of a case—beginning with early consultation and continuing through trial and post-trial proceedings. Our role is to deliver rigorous analysis, clear communication, and professional expertise that strengthen your legal strategy and enhance credibility with the trier-of-fact.

At Dr. John McGowan LLC, we help bridge that divide—providing the rational economic framework that jurors and judges can rely on, while equipping attorneys with the tools and analysis they need to advocate effectively.

Our objective is simple: to be a trusted partner to counsel, delivering litigation support that is thorough, defensible, and clearly communicated from start to finish.
