Description

I will review DNA typing results and help you interpret them in the context of your case. I consider myself an advocate for good science and have assisted both prosecution and defense. My goal is to educate both legal professionals and the lay public about the advantages, and even more importantly, the limitations inherent in the different types of DNA testing.
I am court qualified as an Expert Witness in Forensic DNA Analysis and prepared to offer testimony. |
