Forensic Civil Engineering Investigations

"The law regards surface water as a common enemy, which every proprietor may fight or get rid of as best he may."  - John Forrest Dillon

Because of our combined expertise in civil engineering and land surveying, we provide a unique combination of forensic investigation services for our clients.

The use of scientific or engineering principles to analyze evidence recovered by detailed field investigation is the backbone of our forensic practice.   It is all about the evidence, knowing how and where to gather the evidence, and having the talent and experience to understand the clues that the evidence presents.   This insight often leads to further evidence recovery and understanding.   Once the evidence recovery process is exhausted, sound unbiased conclusions are drawn in vivid and simple detail.

We have developed forensic experience with issues related to flooding, surface water hydrology, hydraulics, grading and drainage, erosion, channel formation, surface water migration, ground deformation, and structural distress.   In addition, our expertise in land surveying and boundary evidence recovery has proven to bolster our forensic engineering practice and enhanced our keen eye for evidence recovery and valuation.

Due to our growing practice and anticipation for being called to testify as an expert witness in the near future, our principal Clark Stoner recently attended a workshop entitled "How to Excel at Your Expert Witness Deposition", presented by Steven Babitsky, Esq., founder and president of SEAK, Inc. in January, 2013.
