Testimonials for Independent DNA Expert Witness Angela Ross
I have worked with Angela as a consultant and witness in forensic DNA analysis for over a decade. She is my go-to expert. Juries put a lot of weight into DNA evidence, and without the right expert, the evidence can be misunderstood. Angela provides excellent pretrial support in analyzing the evidence, helping counsel understand it, and working on trial strategy. She helps with the interview of the opposing side's DNA witness. She is there every step of the way during trial, including preparing cross-examination for the other side's expert. She even helps with cross-examination of other witnesses to improve the overall strategy of the case! When she testifies, she is extremely knowledgeable and credible. Angela is a joy to be around and an absolutely necessary part of any trial team. I recommend her without hesitation! https://kralmilitarydefense.com/
I’ve often heard, “Experts win cases.” I agree, but not in the most common sense of the phrase. Commonly, it means that expert testimony alone will get you past the burden of doubt. While that is true in many cases, I’ve also found that there are experts whose expertise may not require testimony, but they become so invaluable in analyzing the evidence and providing trustworthy advice, that much of the winning case strategy is built on their insight. Only experts with years of trial experience and a practical approach to cases can provide such insight. Angela is one such expert. As a criminal defense attorney, I’ve worked with her in countless sexual assault cases I’ve defended in the military. In many of those cases, Angela did not end up testifying, because whether the sexual act had occurred was not questioned (rather, it came down to consent). Nonetheless, in a cadre of experts ranging in backgrounds (toxicology, psychiatry, etc.), she became my go-to expert for not only the area of her expertise, but also practical advice on how to best interpret the evidence and relay it to the factfinder. In any case where I need a forensic DNA expert, she is the first individual in my virtual rolodex that I call. www.FedPractice.com
