Expert Witnesses 101

What qualifies a person as an expert witness?

A general witness shares facts or observations about the case, while an expert witness offers opinions based on specialized training or experience. Expert witnesses can play a key role in both civil and criminal cases—providing insight that helps a judge or jury understand complex evidence. Their testimony often carries more weight than that of a general witness. Understanding the difference helps attorneys use each type of witness more effectively and build stronger cases.
