This is the KMG Expert Witness Series! I’m Dr. Noah Kaufman, and for over 15 years, I’ve worked right at that unique spot where medicine and law meet as an expert witness. I’m here to cut right to the chase—no fluff, just the real deal on what actually works and what totally flops when it comes to expert testimony in legal cases, and how to genuinely get the most out of your expert witness.

Whether you’re an attorney deep in litigation or a physician thinking about stepping into the medical-legal field as an expert, if you’re playing in this space, there’s a ton of nuance you absolutely need to grasp. It’s more than just knowing your stuff; it’s about understanding how to apply your medical expertise effectively and persuasively in a legal setting. When I talk about “what actually works,” I mean the strategies and approaches that lead to clear, credible, and impactful expert opinions – the kind that truly help a jury or judge understand complex medical facts.

My ultimate goal with this series? To help all of us—attorneys and physicians alike—raise the bar for expert witness testimony. Let’s tackle this together and make sure every expert opinion is as clear, impactful, and credible as possible. Let’s get smarter about this crucial part of the legal process.
